Lewis
Trevaughn Lewis is a three year old
child from Kingston, Jamaica. At three months old, he
underwent an operation to remove a large tumor that
encompassed his left eye and the soft tissue around the left
eye. The operation left him disfigured and over time,
without a prosthesis, the tissue began to shrink and
deform.
Early in 2000 the Hope For Tomorrow
Foundation and a team of doctors traveled to Jamaica to
perform humanitarian surgery at the Bustamante Children's
Hospital in Kingston. Trevaughn was presented to the
surgical team and doctors there requested he be brought to
the United States for reconstructive surgery.
The
Hope For Tomorrow Foundation made arrangements for Trevaughn
to be brought to the United States for reconstructive
surgery to the left orbit and an eye prosthesis at Roswell
Park Memorial Institute in Buffalo, New
York. |
