When she was 9 years old, her parents had realized her spine condition. As their family’s economy condition is not good, they delayed her issue until she was 12 and during school’s body checkup, the nurse notify them about her spine condition and treatment is needed immediately.

In December 2016, she was sent for her first surgery in Ipoh’s hospital. She suffered from a 52-degree scoliosis and doctor has inserted 6 screws. In February 2017, she fell down and caused 2 screws to be broken. She was admitted to hospital for surgery to replace the two broken screw.

Her first surgery which costed RM10,000 and second surgery which costed RM6,000 is fully paid by her parents. After the 2 surgeries, she is still unable to stand straight.

Her parents brought her to University Hospital for checkup yesterday and doctor realized her scoliosis has worsen and it resulted in a 65-degree bend. She requires another surgery to fix her posture.

Her father, Wong Wei Heong, 41 and mother, Chang Yoke Fong, 37 is both hawkers and their income is limited. She has a 13 years old younger sister and a 12 years old younger brother.

Patient 2
Name: Lee Li Wei, 17
Diagnosis: 90-degree scoliosis
Surgery Fee: RM29,000

2 years ago, his family realized that his spine is bend and brought him for hospital for checkups. Since his finger’s length is unusual and easy to be bend, doctors suspect that he suffers from Osteogenesis Imperfecta and transferred him to genetic specialist.

After a series of checkups, doctors confirmed that he is suffering from scoliosis and it is not related to genetic disorder. As a result, her will be able to go for scoliosis surgery.

His scoliosis has affected his life and he fell easily because of imbalance. As a result, he is unable to go for sports activity.

Scoliosis has caused his both shoulders to be imbalance and hunch. His pelvic is also slanted when he walks. He is currently Form 5 and he will be soon starting to work.

He faced mental stress as his appearance if different from others. His family hope that the surgery can be performed successfully.

Li Wei is from Negeri Sembilan and his father, Lee Yoon Fatt, 53, is a construction labor who draws a monthly salary of RM1,000. His mother, Yong Choon Kiow, 52, is a clerk who draws a monthly salary of RM1,300. He is the youngest in the family and he has a 21 years old brother who is an apprentice who draws a monthly salary of RM900 and a 19 years old brother who is still studying.

Both of the patients require RM71,000 in total for scoliosis surgery. We hope that the kind-hearted society can lend them a helping hand. The surgery will be taken place in University Hospital, KL.
