THE family of an eight-year-old girl, who has a malignant tumour just below her right knee, is appealing for public donations to cover the cost of her post-surgery treatment.

Housewife Lew Sook Kuan, 32, said her daughter Winnie Wong, who was diagnosed with osteosarcoma, a type of bone cancer, needs about RM250,000 for chemotherapy sessions and follow-up treatment after the surgery to remove the tumour at UM Specialist Centre (UMSC) in Kuala Lumpur which will be held tomorrow.
