A call for action...lets give her back her smile!

Enjelina is her name, and she is 15 years old living in Kupang. The gum tumor began when she was seven years old, at that moment she had a toothache problem, and she went to a local hospital in Kupang. There the doctor took out one of her teeth. After that, day by day, she felt a lot of pain and again her parents brought her to Yohanes Hospital in Kupang. Again the doctor took out four teeth. At that time the doctor already saw a small lump on her gum, and the doctor gave advice that they had to come to the hospital for a next treatment. Because of they are coming from a low-income family, they decided to stay at home not back to the hospital due to the lack of money.

When she was 12 years old the gum getting more and more swollen, growing bigger and made it difficult to eat and drink. She was also not going to school anymore because she got bullied by her friends in school. We hope that you can help and support us because we want to bring her to Denpasar Bali for surgery. Before we already had an experience like this,one of our patients already recovered from gum tumor after successful surgery. We want to bring back her smile. For that we need financial support from Kolewa friends, in order to cover the expenses for traveling, hosting and medical treatment.
