Personal message

Hello, I'm Christelle Burger, and I am reaching out to share the story of my precious baby girl, Nikita Beverley Burger.

Born on November 20, 2022, two weeks earlier than expected, Nikita weighed 2.5kg at birth and has since celebrated her first birthday. Unfortunately, her journey has been marked by a challenge—her spinal cord didn't develop properly.

Nikita struggles with discomfort when sitting for extended periods due to the pressure from her bones. As her parent, all I wish for is to see her lead a normal, pain-free life. To understand the extent of her condition and explore potential treatment options, the next step is to undergo an MRI as soon as possible. Our pediatrician expressed concern about a potential underlying spina bifida, making this diagnostic procedure crucial for Nikita's well-being.

The doctor stated in an email, "This is to confirm that I am requesting an MRI Lumbar spine for Nikita. She has developmental delay with decreased tone in the lower limbs. She also has a dimple on the lumbar spine, and I am concerned about an underlying spina bifida."

In our pursuit of answers and a path toward a healthier future for Nikita, we are reaching out for support.

Any contribution, no matter how small, will go a long way in helping us afford the necessary MRI. Our only desire is to provide Nikita with the chance for a normal, pain-free life.

We believe that as soon as we secure the funds for the MRI, we can take the next steps in Nikita's healing journey.

We trust in God's plan and His timing, and we are hopeful that through your generosity, Nikita can overcome these challenges and experience the joy of a life without pain.

Nikita's resilience is truly inspiring—she always has a smile on her face. Her spirit reminds me of the song "Lyfie" by Bernice West, as she is a perfect creation in God's unique way.

Your support means the world to us, and we thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

With heartfelt gratitude,
Christelle Burger

Hello, I'm Christelle Burger, and I'm reaching out to share my daughter Nikita's story.

Born on November 20, 2022, she arrived two weeks early and faced a challenge—her spinal cord didn't develop properly. Now at one year old, Nikita experiences pain when sitting due to issues with her bones. Our pediatrician recommends an urgent MRI to understand her condition, suspecting an underlying spina bifida.

We're seeking support for the MRI costs to provide Nikita with a chance at a pain-free life.

Every contribution, no matter how small, makes a significant impact.

We trust in God's plan and your generosity to help Nikita overcome these challenges.

Thank you, we are grateful for any support as we embark on this journey.
