A Chinese mother-of-two has been left disfigured by tumours which have been growing on her face for the last ten years.

Li Hongfang, 40, is shunned in public because of the rare condition which has caused her face to slowly swell.

She has been unable to get medical treatment for Chordoma because she cannot afford it. The illness is a form of bone cancer which causes tissue to grow.

The trouble started in 2001 when she noticed a small patch of swelling on her forehead which she initially ignored because it was not painful.

When her condition was finally diagnosed four years later, doctors said she had seven tumours growing on her face.

But she has been unable to pay the £60,000 or 600,000 yuan medical bill and has been forced to watch them slowly grow.

The mother said: 'I know that a lot of people see me as a monster but I am just a normal woman and a mother inside.'

So sad, but she has become a monster.

At least in the eyes of the world, same as anyone who's different.

The true monsters are the ones that watch her suffer and can do something about it.

Wow, she looks almost cartoonish, or computer generated. What a shame she can't receive treatment.

It is heart breaking when this happens to people. It must be so painful too.

I'm sure her children suffer with her. It's sad, I saw this story earlier. She looks beautiful in that before picture. I wonder how much the surgeries cost?

Peace

The story said she needed 600,000 yuan ($94,000.00) A lot of people can spend that much in a weekend. I had the money I would give it to her.

Yeah you think with all the money the Chinese Trade Governments acquires from everywhere they DO SOMETHING to HELP THEIR PEOPLE.
But Unfortunately they choose to BUILD GHOST CITIES and IGNORE the real cities with PEOPLE that are SUFFERING.

I had the money I'd totally help her
You think Bill Gates Warren Buffet some rich asshole would see this and FIX IT? Ya know. I mean they got the time the money.
But they choose not to help people they like to make people suffer.

Walmart could help her
Chinese Workers help Walmart make Money
Walmart helps Chinese Military be number 2 on the Economy List
But ya know they only help their corporations to kill to stomp on us
Jackasses they are and jackasses they shall fall

Ya think one these 6 walton walmart jackasses do something?
List of Walton's family fortune as of 2012 published by Forbes.
Christy Walton and family US$25.3 billion[1]
Jim Walton US$23.7 billion[1]
Alice Walton US$23.3 billion[1]
S. Robson Walton US$23.1 billion[3]
Ann Walton Kroenke US$3.9 billion[1]
Nancy Walton Laurie US$3.4 billion[1]

I wonder if Sam Walton is turning over in his grave?

Trump, Buffet, Gates I'm sure any one of them could lose it and not even know it. Of course $100,000 can go a long way for a lot of people who may die today or tomorrow from lack of vitals like food, water & medical....

Money really is evil...
