Personal message

Good day, this is my son JT. He is currently 15 years old and has been diagnosed with Cerebral Palsy, Autism and also has epilepsy.  

 
When he was born we were told that he would never walk, or talk and despite this grim prediction, he has overcome it and walks, talks, feeds himself etc. He attends a special needs school, Alma School and is in general a happy go lucky boy.
 
However, JT has been diagnosed with severe cataracts, which is causing him to not be able to see properly. This affects his daily life not only at home, but also at school and socially.  
 
We have been informed that without the necessary surgery, in both eyes, he will go blind.
 
We therefore ask for your help to raise funds so we can have the surgery for JT as quickly as possible.
 
Not only might this help with the seizures he experiences, but it will also prohibit him from going blind, and will severly increase his day to day life and experiences.  If you are able to assist, please please help us in doing so.  Every share counts, and we will be forever grateful to everyone involved.
 
I herewith also include the quotation received from Netcare, per email and confirm that this does not include the first consultation with the specialist. I have therefore included it in the global amount needed.
 
Much love.

This is JT, a 15-year-old who defied the odds of a grim prognosis—Cerebral Palsy, Autism, and epilepsy—and now walks, talks, and attends Alma School. Unfortunately, severe cataracts threaten his sight, impacting daily life and risking blindness without surgery. We urgently seek funds to cover the R20750.00 per eye surgery cost, crucial not only for his vision but potentially for reducing seizures. Your support matters immensely; every share and contribution counts. The quotation from Netcare outlines the procedure's expenses. Help JT preserve his sight and enhance his quality of life. Thank you for your consideration and support.
