Eric V. Before Facial Reconstructive Surgery.Eric V. After Facial Reconstructive Surgery.
Meet Eric V.

Eric needed assistance paying for a $12,000 facial reconstructive surgery after a tumor grew back 20 years after a 2001 resection. The weight of the tumor was starting to impede his vision and impair his speech. This kind of plexiform tumor is quite complex so the reconstruction of his underlying facial structure was also necessary. Eric had raised some of the money needed but came up short. B Kind contributed the rest towards his life-changing surgery.
