Help Lera Fund Her Medication Campaign

Hi there. My name is Teyen. I am a single father to my dear daughter, Lera. Lera was born in 2010 in Stockholm Sweden. During the summer of 2014, we had relocated to South Africa. Since then, our family has found nothing but hardships along the way. Lera was diagnosed with autism and started showing signs of tourettes at a very young age. This threw a spanner in the works with regards to schooling and her ability to cope with societal norms. Lera's mother (who was also diagnosed with autism) and I were mocked for allowing her to be herself and we were pushed aside by all of our friends. This eventually took a toll on Lera's mother, Astrid. She fell into a major depression and could not get out of it. After many psychiatry and therapy sessions, along with some medication. Things started to look up for Astrid. She would come to bed smiling and giggling. Always had a spring in her step and that familiar sparkle in her eyes. Astrid was happy, I was happy, Lera was happy. All those years of therapy sessions and medication was finally paying off. At the end of 2019, which was our best year since 2014, Astrid fell back into a slump. Her depression had come back. All the years of suffering couldn't be solved by some pills and 1 good year. On the 18th of December i spent my day with Astrid and Lera. I took off work, we did all of Astrid's favourite things. We ate her favourite food, watched her favourite movie. All of that good stuff. We came home at about 11:30 that night and just enjoyed each others company. We spoke for hours, put some decorations up on the tree and wrapped some early Christmas gifts for Lera. Astrid wasn't doing well throughout the day and it didn't seem to get any better by night, so we decided sleep is probably the best option. We got into bed, she kissed me goodnight, and we fell asleep. I woke up the next morning, from what was probably a 4 hour sleep. I moved her arm from off of my body and turned over. She was usually up and out of bed before me, but i brushed it off, as the day prior was quite busy. I got out of bed and looked over at her and noticed blood stains all over the sheets. The rest of the story i will leave out, as it is rather graphic, and quite frankly typing this out is making me teary eyed. But from this point on, as one could imagine, Lera and I were broken. The combination of Lera's autism and the recent loss of her mother has caused her to spiral. She is in desperate need of medical care. The circumstances mentioned prior has caused me to lose my job, so i have no source of income for Lera's medication and other clinical services. The R8000 will be used for Lera's monthly prescription of antidepressants, antipsychotics, mood stabilizers and anti-anxiety meds. It will help us a great deal as without these meds, she will spiral. I cant stand to see my daughter in this state. I dont know if I will be able to handle another repeat of history. I appreciate all of you who have read through this. Thank you so much for your time.
