Law Kee Wo, a ten-year-boy, visited the Prince of Wales Hospital with his father and uncle last winter.
When he was young, a small tumor, which grew bigger with time, was found in his right eye. He did not receive any medical treatment as his family could not afford it. Later, the tumor, which grew as big as the fist of a man, prevented him from opening his eye and double vision created. His ability to hear and speak was also affected. Not until last year was his case revealed in a visit to China held by an organization in Hong Kong. Later, he was admitted to the Prince of Wales Hospital for an operation to remove the tumor.
As none of his relatives resided in Hong Kong, his family was advised to stay in Ronald McDonald House when they arrive in Hong Kong. His uncle was thankful to this temporary place of shelter for providing Kee Wo with a comfortable environment for faster recovery.
For a child like Kee Wo who travels far away from his hometown to Hong Kong for medical treatment, they need both care and support. In Ronald McDonald House, Kee Wo has made new friends with similar fortune and learnt to adapt to this new environment. His smiling face speaks for himself!
