I came into contact with Yaffs in 2006 ; from then on , I learn a lot of from this maillist, thank to Charles Manning and those people help me before; If this mail bother you , I give my sincere apology; But this child (Yi Fan) ¡¯s experience is a heart-rending story£º born with severe lung disease, she¡¯s never been able to live a normal life, never being able to go far from her supply of oxygen; Yi Fan, turns five this Christmas, may not see her 6th birthday unless her parents, Jack Pan and Ping Zhou, can raise $300, 000 - $500,000 to send their little girl to see some of the best specialists in the world. Refusing to give up on their only child, Jack and Ping have already sold their home to fund Yi Fan¡¯s medical costs. Now, time is running out and they are willing to do anything to give their daughter a chance of life. Yifan's father , Jack Pan who loves the open source software and makes contribution to the open source community. He is the core member of the open source project jz-hacking and virtualmips. Yaffser , may be you can help this family.
