LISHUI ZHEJANG, China - A 22-year-old woman with a horrific disfigurement is asking for donations so she can get an operation.
Wu Xioayan's parents are farmers in southern China. They tell the Daily Star they cannot afford the surgery to treat their daughter's fibrous displasia, a bone disease.
A huge tumor is covering two-thirds of her face, say her doctors, obstructing her breathing and interfering with her vision and sense of smell.
Wu's parents have already managed to pay $15,000 for treatment, but still need more than $30,000 to complete the surgery.
