Dear LEAP Supporters,

Li Ying came to the US in October of 2005 with her mom and an American missionary who found out about LEAP.

Though it took an amazing amount of trust, as the Wang's didn't speak any English and had barely been outside of rural China, Li's mom was willing to risk everything for her daughter. Li had hypertelorism (eyes separated by a cleft, encephalocele (outpouching of the brain), as well as 4 segments of a nose separated by a wide cleft, and a cleft lip and palate.

The surgery was risky and challenging. But God blessed the entire process. Li and her mom are now back in China. Li's return brought tears to her father's eyes, who had not seen her in months, and had no idea what to expect.

Li's follow-up procedure will be done in China, within this coming year.
