Let's Help Baby Yujia

Dear Friends,
If you have watched Channel 8's Joy Truck last night and touched by Baby Yujia's story, I would like to seek for your kind support to help Baby Yujia and her family reach their fundraising target, to send Baby Yujia to US for treatment and live a normal life thereafter. If you have missed the episode, you can watch it here:

Some background on Baby Yujia's condition:
At a tender age, Baby Yujia had already gone through numerous surgeries to fix a rare birth defect, esophageal atresia (esophagus not connected to her stomach). She had spent most her time in hospital and had multiple tubes connected in her body, which lead to infections to the lungs and further complications to her condition. She has yet to be fed through the mouth and her saliva needs to be suction off every 2-3 hours, which cause her more suffering. The local doctors have tried their best to fix the problem but to no avail and the only hope lies in seeking treatment in Boston Children's hospital. The medical fees will cost around $1.75M and Baby Yujia's parents are seeking kind donation to help reach this target to send Baby Yujia over for treatment.
I first shared about Baby Yujia's story back in June and we managed to pool together some donation to help her. Since then, I have discussed with Yujia's mum, Jamie, on how we can raise more funds to reach the target to send Baby Yujia to US for her operation:

Why is Baby Yujia always on my mind and why I am always looking out for opportunities to help her? I think every child deserves a happy and memorable childhood and if it is within our means to help, we should do it, because we never know where our efforts can bring us to. A million dollars may seem a huge amount but with a million friends giving just $1 each, this amount is achievable. What we are giving to Yujia is more than our donated amount, what we are giving to her is a lifetime of opportunities to explore her dreams and lead a fulfilling life, when she eventually recovers from her condition. It is unfortunate and sad that a child so young has to go through so much pain and suffering at a young age, but we as fellow members of the community, can do our part to bring some solace to the family by supporting the fundraising campaign. Baby Yujia has been such a strong fighter since birth and let's help spur her further by supporting her in this journey to recovery.
Friends, I appeal to you to join me to help make a difference and help the family reach one step closer to their target, every dollar counts and is a step closer to their target, let me start the ball rolling with the first pledge:
