WARNING: Rather scary looking toomer on the other side of that link.

I hope she can get that surgery ASAP.

.....I'm surprised she can breathe period. :(

I'm happy they're going to finally try to remove it.

Shame on myself for cracking a laugh. :evil:UTXII

KILL IT, KILL IT WITH FIRE! *Shudders*cryptosopoidium

Thats pretty bloody insensitive of you,

Wow....and I like how the translator in the video is smiling the whole time.darksword1123

I was shocked she tried to speak at the end.

Shame on myself for cracking a laugh. :evil:UTXII

you did? wow man. wow.

Omg, it was coming out through her mouth. Omg... I just threw up a lil' bit. I'm glad they are getting it taken care of!stevenk4k5

Worst part is they're still trying to raise money for the surgery. What kind of world do we live in where someone doesn't just volunteer?

I just had pizza, so I'm not looking.Hewkii

A capitalist one.

why are people laughing :|Brutal_Elitegs

Because it isn't them or anyone close to them, and they haven't developed to the point where they can feel empathy for strangers.
