You know what’s crazy? I’ll tell you what’s crazy!
Living 22 years of your life with a face so distorted that you look like a cartoon character in the Macy’s T-giving day parade.
These pictures are so outrageous, so crazy, they look like something dreamed up by the people at Marvel Comics.
Attack of the Rhinocerous People!
Sadly, these are real photos of a real human who is living a tortured existence, a prisoner inside her own grossly disfigured face.
The young Chinese woman has lived an unimaginable life of people staring in horrified disbelief. Can you imagine waking up every morning and seeing this in the mirror? It would be hard to even brush your teeth. How do you open your mouth? Where is your mouth?
Even in China; school kids can be mean. This woman is gas on fire inside a gigantic hand grenade of mean.
DATELINE: LISHUI ZHEJANG, China
Wu Xioayan was born with a birth defect that makes Hiroshima look like a fire cracker. Her affliction is known as fibrous Displasia, a bone disease. The 22 year old’s parents cannot afford surgery and they are asking for donations so she can get an operation.
I would think that anyone seeing this young girl’s face would want to help. If i’m a doctor and this woman shows up in my office, I am trying to help her, even if it means donating my services to her. If the idea is to heal and make people well, this woman is a tresure trove of opportunity.
The tumor covers two-thirds of Xioayan’s face and doctors say it obstructs her breathing and interferes with her vision and sense of smell.
Can you imagine looking in the mirror and all you see staring back at you is the creature from the black lagoon. Can you imagine looking at your brothers and sister who have eyes above their nose and a over their chin and wondering how you got all the DNA intended for the radiation dump.
The website Journalism Without Borders says Wu’s parents have already managed to pay $15,000 for treatment, but still need more than $30,000 to complete the surgery.
I hope the family can raise the money. Dateline NBC should pay the fee just so they can document what’s it like when someone who is 22 years old is suddenly reborn as a human.
What a concept? A face? Nostrils? Eyes that don’t make you attractive to other salamanders.
I sure hope someone coughs up the cash because this young woman has experienced hell on Earth, now it’s time to for her to see the wonderment that life can be. And she needs to see that from eyes that don’t radiate 180 degrees from center.
And that is crazy!
