Help family stretched to far by mounting medical costs.

Wellington

My name is Richard. I'm a 43yr old single dad (my wife Annie passed away from breast cancer in 2011 age 33yrs old). I have kidney disease with other health problems and am unable to work. I live in Wellington with my 12yr old son Kyle who also has health problems due to his mother receiving chemo while he was in utero as the doctors didn't know she was pregnant with twins until the five month date. Sadly Kyle's twin "Quintin" passed at age three months.

Kyle now needs braces to align his jaw and stop his lower teeth biting into the upper gums. While we have managed up until now the $8700.00 required for the braces along with other ongoing costs is beyond me.

Kyle has had to deal with a lot of poor health and sadness in his life but always had a ready smile. I would very much appreciate your help to enable him to keep that smile.

Thank you.

Use of funds

Any funds received will be used for Kyle braces. Anything over and above would be used for a computer Kyle desperately needs for upcoming high school Years.
