Representatives from Chinese Consulate of Chicago visit ICU

Several representatives from the Chinese Consulate traveled to Columbia yesterday to visit Yirui Wei and her parents. The visitors were Maoming Chu, Deputy Consul General; Wan Cong, Consul for Education & Demin Wu, Consul. They expressed words of support for Yirui and her family and are helping to expand our fund raising efforts into the Chicago area. They also brought a donation of $1500 for Yirui, getting us closer to our goal.

Each day we are making progress toward getting Yirui the care she needs. Thanks to the Consulate for their concern and support!
