A sentimental scene unfolded on the streets of Singapore. In order to save her son from a rare liver disease, a mother took her children on the street to hand out flyers, hoping that kind-hearted people would help them find a suitable donor. The mother also revealed that because she had donated a liver to save her son a few years ago, she was not allowed to donate this time. In addition, she might not find a suitable candidate and asked for help in the community to no avail, so she had to go to the street for help.
According to a report by Malaysia’s “China News”, 44-year-old mother Li Meiyun recently took her 15-year-old son Wu Wenxing, who suffered from autoimmune hepatitis with the name Primary Sclerosing Cholangitis (PSC), to hand out leaflets on the street looking for liver. sparking local debate. After attracting attention, she revealed her frustration in searching for a liver from her home country of Malaysia to Singapore where she obtained permanent resident status.
Li Meiyun said that her son was diagnosed with autoimmune hepatitis when he was 5 years old. He underwent a liver transplant when he was 8 years old, and she was the donor at that time. However, her son, who had been returning for regular follow-up visits, was diagnosed with primary sclerosing cholangitis last year and had to undergo a second transplant. However, because she had already donated once, she might not donate a second time.
To make matters worse, although Wu Minxing looks fine on the outside, he has a time bomb of “esophageal varicose veins”. If it develops, his life will be in danger at any time, so he must undergo a transplant as soon as possible. However, the family has not been able to find a suitable donor since April last year. After asking for help on Facebook in October of the same year, although they received help from netizens, the result was still disappointing.
Li Meiyun said that now she has no time to think regarding the bottoming out of her and her husband’s savings and the surgery fee of 160,000 Singapore dollars (approximately NT$3.73 million). She just hopes to find the right person as soon as possible. She also emphasized that if anyone suspects that she has ulterior motives, they can confirm with the National University Hospital of Singapore.
