Doctors to remove 16-pound facial tumor from girl - Yahoo! News Photos

Fifteen-year-old Lai Thi Dao waves to members of the media as she leaves Jackson Memorial Medical Center after a news conference Tuesday, April 22, 2008, in Miami. The Vietnamese girl has a 16-pound facial tumor and is in Miami awaiting surgery that will restore her ability to eat and speak. Doctors say the tumor threatens to suffocate Lai.

Umm, her parents from Vietnam and are very poor. Even though they took her to a local hospital, but they were turned down. Until someone noticed a girl with the largest tumor, then contacted the agency who helps children with various health problems.
 
That's true about her parent are poor. It's same with Haitian girl's parent are poor. Her mom attended to church for faith. She need to go there for her daughter with facial tumor. Everyone prayed for her. Everyone gave her a donate for surgery. God sent them go to Miami, Florida for operation. The girl had remove the tumor and put a plastic surgery on her face. She can smile now. She is very happy! Praise to lord!
