Wah Wah was diagnosed with gastrointestinal hemangioma of tract when she was 5 months old. When Wah Wah was in the hospital for the first two months, her mom was anxious and worried and her dad could not go to work. The couple had to shuttle between their Tai Po home and the hospital every single day. Wah Wah’s sister, Kwan Kwan was nine years old by then. She felt more like an orphan as her parents’ attention was all on Wah Wah. With the existence of the Ronald McDonald House (RMH), their family life and relationship turned normal and better.

They settled in the RMH which would save the travelling time from home to hospital.

The whole family settled down in the house biding farewell to the past weary and exhausting life. They regained the momentum of a normal life. The elder sister Kwan Kwan came to stay in the RMH during weekends and long school holidays to be united with the family. When Wah Wah’s situation was under control as her tumor smaller, the whole family left the house and went home. The family still visits the house in their spare time for gatherings. Kwan Kwan has regained her confidence and pleasantness. She plays with other children in the house to bring warmth and happiness to them, hoping they can recover and go home as soon as possible.
