Help Nigel fight rare disease Campaign
Nigel, a devoted lover of the South African bush, used to find solace in volunteering at Pilanesberg with his wife, escaping the challenges of life.
However, since May 2018, he has battled autoimmune diseases, experienced job loss, and faced escalating health issues. Despite monthly medication expenses depleting their medical aid, his health deteriorated further in May 2022, with diagnoses of squamous cell carcinomas and Myelodysplastic syndrome.
Testing for the rare VEXAS syndrome is pending, with potential groundbreaking implications. Cataracts, a side effect of medication, add to his health woes. Seven hospitalizations since July have resulted in overwhelming medical bills, causing significant financial and emotional strain.
Nigel urgently needs two vital medications, costing over R30,000 monthly, which the medical aid refuses to cover. The family is seeking donations to alleviate the burden of past and future medical expenses and restore Nigel's strength.
