Yiheng and his family need your help!
Donation protected
Hello everyone - We are starting this gofundme on behalf of Yiheng and his family. Yiheng is a fourth grade student in Queens who adores school, his friends and teachers. We love him for the kind-hearted vigorous boy that he is.
Yiheng was diagnosed with epilepsy about a year ago. His doctors thought this was the reason why he was so easily tired and unstable. The doctors even operated on Yiheng’s eyes last month to address his balance and coordination.
But about two weeks ago, Yiheng had a major seizure that sent him to the Emergency Room. When his condition did not improve, the doctors ran more tests and discovered that he has a rare condition called Mitochondrial disease, which has affected his neuromuscular systems. The doctors have also learned that one side of his heart is larger than the other, which further complicates treatment and recovery.
He is currently under 24-hour watch at the ICU in Cohen’s Children Medical Center. Because he’s in and out of consciousness, his brain waves are being monitored and he is on a feeding tube.
Our hearts are broken because it has been one thing after another for this little boy and his family. Yiheng’s mother and father have been by his side throughout this entire ordeal, which has most recently impacted his father’s ability to continue working.
We want to use this gofundme to help this hard-working family weather this storm. This devoted and loving family desperately needs your help. Every dollar is appreciated and will go toward future medical expenses, transportation, meals, housing and more.

Hola a todos
Estamos empezando este gofundme en nombre de Yiheng y su familia. Yiheng es estudiante de cuarto grado en Corona, Queens, quien adora la escuela, sus amigos y maestros. Lo amamos por el chico vigoroso de corazón que es.
Yiheng fue diagnosticado con epilepsia hace aproximadamente un año, sus médicos pensaron que esta era la razón por la que estaba tan fácilmente cansado e inestable. Los médicos incluso operaron los ojos de Yiheng el mes pasado para abordar su equilibrio y coordinación.
Pero hace una semana, Yiheng tuvo una gran incautación que lo envió a la sala de emergencias. Cuando su condición no mejoró, los médicos hicieron más pruebas y descubrieron que tiene una rara enfermedad llamada enfermedad mitocondrial, que ha afectado sus sistemas neuromusculares. Los médicos también han aprendido que un lado de su corazón es más grande que el otro, lo que complica aún más su tratamiento y recuperación.
Actualmente está bajo vigilancia las 24 horas en la UCI del Centro Médico Infantil de Cohen. Debido a que está dentro y fuera de conciencia, sus ondas cerebrales están siendo monitoreadas y está en un tubo de alimentación.
Nuestros corazones están rotos porque ha sido una cosa tras otra para este niño y su familia. La madre y el padre de Yiheng han estado a su lado durante toda esta prueba, que recientemente ha impactado la capacidad de su padre para seguir trabajando.
Queremos utilizar este gofundme para ayudar a este duro clima familiar durante esta tormenta. Esta familia devota y amorosa necesita desesperadamente su ayuda. Cada dólar es apreciado y se destinará a futuros gastos médicos, transporte, comidas, alojamiento y más.
Le agradecemos de antemano
