The Yvonne Foong NF Fund
This fund is used to finance my medical treatments and the cost to manage my illness. The name of my illness is called Neurofibromatosis Type 2. Its a illness of the nervous system that causes benign tumors to grow in my brain, spine and in other parts of my body all the time.
I have underwent one surgery each year since I was first diagnosed in the year 2002. NF has proven to be a financial burden for me and my family because I do not qualify for insurance coverage. I need to have an MRI scan done every six months that can cost from RM800 to RM3,000 for one set of MRI. From time to time, I also need to purchase medical aids and pay for surgeries. I hope that with this fund, the financial burden of my medical treatment can be eased. |
