Giant eye tumour horror
A loving brother has posted these horrific images of his sister on the Internet in a desperate bid to raise 30,000 GBP for a life-saving operation.
A tumour in 15-year-old Wang Jinqiu's left eye socket has almost taken over her entire face and forced her eye to swell like a balloon as she lays in agony in a hospital bed in Fuxin, north east China.
Now brother Wang Jincheng, 20, has made a harrowing video appeal for the cash to restore his sister's face.
"My beautiful sister was always so full of life. She had only just started to become a young woman and now she's lying on her deathbed.
"This horrible disease is eating her face and without money there is nothing we as a family can do about it," he said.
Dad Wang Lizhong says the tumour was discovered just nine months ago and without health insurance the family has no hope of funding an operation without financial help.
One op to remove it has already failed.
"I borrowed a lot of money, everything I could, and had the surgery in Beijing to cut out the tumour, but it came back again.
"Now this new surgery is far more expensive than the last one and I just can't afford it. I can't bear the thought of losing her. I would do anything to save her," he said.
Local Red Cross spokesman Li Wenping said: "This is a tragic case. We have had some donations in but nowhere near enough yet and we really want to do something.
"She is a brave girl. She does not complain but she is clearly suffering enormously."
