Eun-woo was born with a hernia and had to undergo open abdominal surgery immediately after birth. The surgery lasted for a grueling nine hours, but with a strong will to live, young Eun-woo fought through it and survived. However, because his organs were pushed against his left lung, the lung was unable to develop properly. As a result, he spent a long time alone in the intensive care unit (ICU) relying on a respirator to breathe.

​By what felt like a miracle, he gradually recovered and was able to live a normal daily life. But tragedy has struck once again. Due to complications from his first surgery, Eun-woo now has to go through a second major operation.

​My wife and I have found it nearly impossible to maintain our normal lives. Because Eun-woo is so young and in constant pain, he requires round-the-clock care, making it extremely difficult for us to hold steady jobs. We are earnestly reaching out to ask for your support and assistance for our young son.

​Eun-woo hasn't had the chance to experience so many things in life yet, nor has he been able to run and play freely like other children his age. We deeply wish to see him receive the proper treatment he needs so he can dream and build a future for himself—and we would be profoundly grateful to share that journey with you.

​Thank you so much for your warm interest, help, and for taking the time to read our story.
