Subject: Urgent Appeal for Assistance: Restoring Independence through Deep Brain Neuro Stimulator Replacement
Dear Supporters,
I hope this message finds you well. My name is, and I am reaching out to you with a heartfelt plea for assistance.
Thirteen years ago, I underwent the installation of a deep brain neurostimulator to manage Parkinson's disease. Unfortunately, an infection has now necessitated the removal of the hardware. I am required to wait approximately six months for the infection to clear before the installation of new hardware can take place.
My relationship with the beneficiary is with my mother, who is not only my primary caregiver but also covers my medical bills through her medical aid. Currently, the medical aid is exhausted, and raising funds is crucial for the installation of the new hardware.
These funds are pivotal for my ability to regain independence. With the replacement of the deep brain neurostimulator, I will be able to bathe, eat, and walk independently. At present, I require 24-hour assistance, and this new hardware holds the promise of restoring a significant degree of autonomy to my daily life.
The raised funds will be dedicated to covering the costs associated with the deep brain neurostimulator hardware, a transformative step towards reclaiming my ability to perform daily tasks without constant assistance.
I sincerely appreciate your consideration and any support you can offer during this challenging time. Your contribution will not only impact my life but also bring a sense of freedom and normalcy that I have been longing for.
Thank you for taking the time to read my appeal, and for any assistance you can provide.
Warm regards,
