Personal message

I am writing on behalf of my nephew, Moegamat Shakir, whose life took a tragic turn over 10 years ago during a family outing to Muizenberg Beach. While playing on a jungle gym, a fun day quickly became a nightmare when Shakir jumped off and a thick, rusted screw tore through his testicles. Since that incident, he has endured years of suffering, undergoing various scans, MRIs, and operations. His childhood and teenage years have been marked by the strongest pain medications, yet the pain and continuous bleeding persist.

Despite his deteriorating health, financial constraints prevent Shakir from undergoing a private operation to potentially remove the nerve causing his agony. Raised by a single unemployed mother, who is also supporting three other children with no involvement from his father, Shakir's situation is dire. The blood he is urinating is dark and thick, and I fear for his life as he becomes increasingly frail.

I am reaching out for assistance to raise funds to alleviate his suffering. Every little bit will contribute to his hospital bills, which have surpassed R100,000. Our goal is to provide Shakir with a chance to live pain-free and without the threat of losing his life due to financial constraints. Your kindness and support are greatly appreciated.
