他叫祁纬唯，是个2年半的男孩，这个年纪的孩子本应该无忧无虑的生活，拥有快乐的童年，但是小纬唯却被迫躺在多伦多病童医院的病床上接受化疗，他患了罕见的视网膜母细胞瘤，在中国已经做了眼球摘除手术，北京同仁医院的大夫把他们一家三口介绍到加拿大，因为这里有全球最好的儿童眼科专家，而且价钱比美国便宜很多，但是做完眼球植入手术之后，他们打过来的钱已经花完，接下来还要做全身化疗，以免癌细胞扩散。
His name is Weiwei QI, a boy of only two and half years old. While other children of his age are enjoying their worry-free childhood, Weiwei is lying in the bed receiving Chemotherapy in Toronto Sick Kids Hospital. He is suffering from a rarely seen cancer: retinoblastoma (RB). He has undergone an enucleation surgery in China. The doctors in Beijing Tongren Hospital have referred them to Canada because Canada has the best ophthalmologists in the world and the treatment is much less costly than that in the U.S. However, all the money that his parents brought to Canada has been spent on the eyeball implantation surgery. A Systemic Chemotherapy is still needed to prevent the cancerous cells from spreading.

由于他们不是移民，在病童医院做化疗的费用是每天3千加元，每次化疗要做3天，大约1万加元左右。总共要做4-5次化疗，还不包括手术的费用，祁家的经济顿时陷入困境。
Due to the fact that they are not Landed Immigrants, they have to pay Toronto Sick Kids Hospital for the cost of the Chemotherapy, which is $3000 per day, 3 days each round. 4-5 rounds of Chemotherapy are expected. On top of the Chemotherapy, there will be the cost of surgeries. The family has immediately been dragged into a financial crisis.

母亲平燕告诉加国无忧记者，真的是走投无路了。他们夫妻在多伦多人生路不熟，不知道应该到哪里求助。刚来时曾经找过中国驻多伦多总领事馆求助，连门都没进去，在门卫那里就给挡住了，出来1名领事说领事馆没有这方面的资金，帮不了他们，他们夫妻希望领事馆可以介绍本地的社团或者慈善机构，也不得要领，他们觉得非常失望。
Weiwei’s mother told the reporter of 51.ca that her family was desperate. The couple is not familiar with Toronto and does not know where to seek help. Upon their arrival in Canada, they attempted to seek help from Consulate-General of China in Toronto. However， they were stopped by the security guards at the door. A consul came out to tell them that Consulate-General could not help them as there was no funding for this kind of matter. The couple expected that the Consulate-General could refer them to some local community associations or charity organizations but they got nothing promising. The couple was very disappointed.

平燕夫妇2009年结婚，本来就没有多少积蓄，用按揭买的房子也被抵押了50万元，用作小纬唯来加拿大的治疗费用，这笔钱到现在刚好花完，丈夫已经紧急飞回国卖房子，但是贷款还没有付清的房子又抵押的50万，卖掉也剩不下几个钱。“无论如何我们也要治好小纬唯，就算倾家荡产也要治。” 在国际物流公司任职的父亲本来已经为了来加拿大帮儿子治疗而辞职，老板把他的职位保留到6月20日，身为家庭唯一的经济支柱，他不得不离开妻儿回国，除了处理卖房子的手续，还不得不继续工作维持家庭生计。
The couple (Yan PING and QI) got married in 2009 and did not have very much savings. Using their house as a pledge, they borrowed ￥500,000 to pay for the cost of treating weiwei in Canada. This amount of money has just been spent. The husband (Qi) has already flown back to China to sell their house. However, the mortgage on the house still hasn’t been paid off. With the ￥500,000 loan on top of the remaining mortgage, they will not get much money from the sale of their house. “We will cure weiwei’s illness at any cost even bankruptcy” The husband quit his job in an international logistic company in order to help his son receive the treatment in Canada. The boss can still hold the position for him till June 20. Being the only source of income of the family, he had to leave his wife and son for China to deal with the sale of their house and continue to work in order to support the family.

祁家目前住在慈善机构提供的宿舍，加拿大的医生算是很有医德了，全球著名的儿童眼科专家盖力（Dr Gallie）主动免去医生的治疗费，这笔费用已经近10万加元了。昨天媒体把他们的电邮曝光：qiqi0769_cn@hotmail.com，到今天为止已经有十几个善心人士发来电邮，希望可以捐款，但是他们在加拿大没有银行账户，所以当务之急是到银行开户，请读者留意本网的跟进报道。看到报道的社团领袖和慈善机构人士，也可以直接与他们联系。
Qi’s family currently resides in an apartment provided by a Charity Organization. The doctors in Canada are very ethical. The world famous ophthalmologist, Dr Gallie, voluntarily waived the doctor’s treatment fee, which was worth almost CAD$100,000. The media published the couple’s email address: qiqi0769_cn@hotmail.com , as of today there have been more than 10 people who emailed them hoping to donate. However, the couple does not have a bank account in Canada. So the most urgent thing for them is to open a bank account. Please keep yourself updated on our follow up regarding this incident. Those who have read this article can contact them directly.

小纬唯是18个月前1次普通的身体检查发现视力异常，才到医院做进一步的检查的，苏州市儿童医院的眼科医生帮他做完检查后，眼睛红红的走出来，说自己行医20多年很少遇到这样的病例，尽管苏州儿童医院的医疗水平不错，医生还是建议他们到北京和上海的大医院治疗。眼球摘除手术是在上海新华医院做的，但是眼球植入手术国内的医生没有把握，以前的病例经常出现排异现象，北京同仁医院的专家于是把他们推介到多伦多。
During a general medical examination 18 months ago, some abnormity was found in weiwwei’s vision. After further examination in Suzhou Children’s Hospital, the ophthalmologist, with teary eyes, advised the parents that he/she had rarely seen this disease during his 20 years’ work in this field. Although this hospital was in good standing in terms of its medical treatment, the doctors still referred them to the bigger hospitals in Beijing and Shanghai. The enucleation surgery was done in Shanghai Xinhua Hospital. However, the ophthalmologists in China were not comfortable with performing the eyeball implantation surgery as there had been frequent rejection reaction in previous cases. As a result, the ophthalmologists in Beijing Tongren Hospital referred them to Toronto.更多精彩文章及讨论，请光临枫下论坛 rolia.net
