Believe me, it's not easy doing this, but sometimes you just have to swallow your pride.
 
We have initiated a Back-a-Buddy campaign to try to assist us in covering the inevitable doctor's bills we will face when Cornel undergoes her 5th ankle operation in February.
 
Twenty years ago, while working as an ambulance assistant, Cornel was involved in a severe ambulance accident. She sustained a lower back injury, a broken femur, a severed calf muscle on the right leg, and a broken left ankle, with her right ankle also being injured.
 
Doctors didn't think she would make it, so they did very little to repair anything, just the basics.
 
Now, if you know Cornel, you know she is one determined woman. She not only survived but got back on her feet to continue saving lives.
 
But now, she needs our help!
 
Cornel has struggled with severe ankle pain, and two years ago, she decided to see if she could do something about it. We consulted one of the top surgeons in South Africa, but operations on both her right and left ankles haven't been as successful as we had hoped.
 
On February 12, Cornel will undergo another operation, this time on her left ankle, with a further operation to follow on her right ankle in 2025.
 
The previous operations have not been covered 100% by medical aid, meaning we've had to cover the costs of the doctor and the anaesthetist.
 
This has depleted our savings, and so, with this operation, our goal is to raise R15,000 to cover Cornel's upcoming ankle surgery, associated medical expenses, and mobility aids like knee scooter rental.
 
Your support can make a massive difference. Please consider contributing and help us make Cornel's journey to recovery a little easier.
 
Thanks

We've launched a Back-a-Buddy campaign to help cover the medical expenses for Cornel's 5th ankle operation in February. Twenty years ago, she survived a severe ambulance accident, sustaining multiple injuries, including severe ankle damage. Despite initial doubts, Cornel has persisted, but now she needs our support. Previous surgeries have been only partially covered by insurance, draining our savings. With a goal of R15,000, we aim to cover her upcoming surgery and associated expenses. Your contribution can ease Cornel's journey to recovery. Thank you for considering and supporting us.
