Campaign Story
Baby Bea a little miracle was born premature in 2019. Mom Elna(42) with type 1 diabetes miraculously fell pregnant and gave birth to Baby Bea. 3 February 2020 their whole live changed when Baby Bea was diagnosed with Retinoblastoma a very rare cancer in the eye. Little Bea has this cancer in both her eyes. On the 14th of February 2020 she received a port through which she will receive her chemo. She received her first chemo treatment on the 15th of February 2020. On the 20th February little Bea went for a MRI scan to determine how aggresive this tumors are. This day ripped their whole live apart. They found that the tumor in the left eye measures 1.5cm x1.4cm and in the right eye 5mm. To save Baby Bea from this cancer spreading to her whole body they have to remove her left eye completely. Because of this sudden illness and operation, Mommy Elna had to resign from her job to take care of Baby Bea. Daddy was retrenched from his job and currently works for a very small salary at a hardware store. At this stage they are completely dependant on their retired parents for financial support and transport because they currently do not own a car. We urgently need your support to help fund the temporary prostetic eye and all the cost pertaining to this cause. Thank you! May God bless you.
