Hi Everyone! My name is Benicio, I am a student from Welkom who lives with his grandmother. I made this fundraiser to help relieve the medical expenses my grandmother incurred during a recent accident.
My grandmother, aged 78, broke her femur on February 8th 2024, and spent several days in a public hospital. The doctors have told us she might need to stay there for up to 6 months before they can decide on treatment.
I took out a loan to cover the medical expenses of R69,000 but I'm an 18-year-old student with existing college loans of R42,000, and this medical debt has pushed my total debt to over R109,000. Balancing university and work, I can't handle this alone.
Any support, big or small, would mean the world to me. It would ease the financial strain and ensure my grandmother gets the care she needs.
Cheers, Benicio
