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 distribute leaflets, hoping that kind 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 could not find a suitable candidate and asked for help in the community in vain, 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 was suffering from an autoimmune hepatitis called Primary Sclerosing Cholangitis (PSC), to distribute leaflets on the street looking for younger, triggering a local discussion. After attracting attention, she revealed her frustration in searching for a liver from her home country of Malaysia to Singapore where she was granted permanent resident status.
Li Meiyun said her son was diagnosed with autoimmune hepatitis when he was 5 years old. He had 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 she had to have a second transplant, but because she had already donated once, she could not donate again.
To make matters worse, although Wu Minxing looks fine on the outside, he has a ticking time bomb of “esophageal varices”. If it develops, his life will be in danger at any time, so he must have a transplant as soon as possible. . However, the family has not managed 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 disappointed.
Li Meiyun said she now has no time to think about making the most of her and her husband’s savings and the operation fee of 160,000 Singapore dollars (about NT$3.73 million) that she hopes to find the person right as soon as possible. He also stressed that if anyone suspects that she has ulterior motives, they can confirm with the National University Hospital of Singapore.
