Bon Lam
Bon was born to family from Cambodia. His family had moved to Vietnam due to the war. Bon is the youngest living child in his family.
Bon was born with left Lymphovenous Malformation. His life was extraordinarily hard because of his facial deformity. His mother would not breast feed him and his father at one point tried to kill him, but God had different plans for Bon.
After Bon's father died Father Chi who wasn't even ordained a Priest yet took this ten year old child to the Monks for help. The Monks arraigned for surgery to remove the mass from Bon's face. After his surgery Bon went to a Catholic Orphanage. (we call, Sister Paula's) Sister Paula is a nun who was in charge of the orphanage while Bon lived there. After much suffering in his face, Sister Paula arranged for the hospital to perform surgery to help alleviate the pain....they cut the nerve ending.
Here in America, Bon has had three surgeries and is looking to have approximately three more which will include his jaw and teeth.
Bon's wish:
"I wish my lips were straight"
Bon is a very grateful, loving boy. He also wishes to "be helping others, as others have helped me".
