With Love From Blackjettas pt II

I stumbled upon Yvonne Foong's website by chance. Being a drama queen who whines n complains gila babi when the world doesn't revolve around me puts me to shame after spending more time understanding her situation.

At the peak of her youth, Yvonne's diagnosed with a rare genetic disorder called Neurofibromatosis Type 2 (A rare inherited disorder resulted by genetic mutations which causes growth of tumors in the nervous system, commonly involving the cranial, spinal and auditory nerves (brain, spine and ears). With its broad clinical spectrum, NF2 patient may develop a wide range of distinct problems such as symptoms of nausea, balance problems, partial facial paralysis, changes of vision, numbness or weakness in the arms or legs, fluid buildup in the brain and most importantly the loss of hearing.)

Yvonne suffered sudden health deteriorations that robbed her bodily capabilities, became deaf, and soon had difficulty balancing. To date, Yvonne has undergone 1 spine and 3 brain surgeries.

Despite having went through four surgeries, many tumours are growing in Yvonne's brain, spine, and along peripheral nerves. To monitor her health, Yvonne requires periodic MRIs, expensive doctor consultations, eye examinations, X-Rays, and many more.

Just recently, a cluster of tumours were newly discovered inhibiting her right optic nerve. Doctors in Malaysia tested her eyes and concluded that they could not do anything about it. Yvonne is set to see an Neuro-Ophthalmologist at UCLA in May. She is determined to save her eyesight, and nothing can stop her from believing.

Yvonne's one of the most courageous young women I've ever met, she deserves every single piece of respect that I have to offer. Instead of letting the incurable disease get in the way of her dreams, she took the world with all the strength that she has.

Born a natural kepoh, YC wants to butt into Yvonne's ongoing fundraising activities.
Spread the love, so she says.
Drama Mama by Blackjettas Design will be sponsoring a limited number of 3 dresses for a mini charity auction aiming to add more numbers to Yvonne's medical fund (dah lah. I've been busy -_- hopefully more to come).

Here's a little spoiler.
But this pic don't do any justice as it was worn in the wrong way.
damn SALAH.
Can't blame no one but my own non-attendance at the shoot.

The online auction will begin in time with PULSE, a charity fashion show organised by Students Of Free Enterprise (SIFE) of Nottingham University in Malaysia. Drama Mama's dresses for a good cause will be showcased live on catwalk. Do drop by to catch a glimpse aight?
