James Alan Fouches Medical Journey Campaign

Dear friends, family, and compassionate supporters,

We come to you with a heartfelt plea for assistance as we launch the "Back a Buddy" campaign for James Alan Fouche, a retired SAP member residing in Strand, Cape Town. James is facing a critical medical situation and requires your support to undergo a life-saving operation.

Campaign Details:

• Beneficiary: James Alan Fouche
• Age: 61
• Date of Operation: 9th April 2024
• Medical Concern: Removal of a tumour in his upper front jaw, which poses a life-threatening risk as it is growing and affecting his sinus.
• Surgeons: Dr S D Otto (Maxillofacial & Oral Surgeon) and Professor Ottie van Zyl (Plastic & Reconstruction Surgeon).

James has dedicated 37 years of his life to serving in the South African Police Service (SAPS), even overcoming a brain surgery in 1996. Unfortunately, he faced additional health challenges, including a stroke and a heart attack in 2019, leading to his retirement in December 2018 due to memory loss and fatigue.

Currently, James is undergoing treatment for memory loss with a psychiatrist and psychologist. The upcoming surgery is essential to address the growing tumour in his upper jaw, but the associated medical costs are substantial.

Financial Breakdown:

• Dr S D Otto's fee: R19,000
• Professor Ottie van Zyl's fee: R18,000 (additional)
• Aesthetic and hospital fees: To be determined.

Post-surgery, James will require dental implants and a mouthpiece, the cost of which is uncertain until the surgery is completed.

How You Can Help:

1.     Donate: Contribute any amount you can to help cover the medical expenses. Every rand counts.

2.     Spread the Word: Share this campaign on social media, email, and other platforms to reach a broader audience.

3.     Prayers and Well Wishes: Send positive thoughts and prayers for James's successful surgery and recovery.

Your generosity and support will make a significant impact on James's journey towards recovery. Together, we can make a difference in his life and provide the financial assistance needed for his medical expenses.

Thank you for standing with James during this challenging time.

With gratitude,
