A few months ago, Josh fell ill with severe headaches as a result of tearing his dura that surrounds the spinal column. He has now been diagnosed with a cerebral Spinal Fluid Leak, which has given him debilitating symptoms with several stays in hospital. This has meant that he has missed a term of Grade 11 and likely the next term as well.
Josh requires a specialised myelogram followed by surgery to seal the leak, which is now the only option to see Josh get back to leading a normal life. The surgery Josh requires is only available in Sydney in the private sector and is estimated to exceed AUD30000. We are reaching out on behalf of Josh, Susie and Emma to anyone who can assist in raising this amount to help the family, who have been through much trauma in the past few years.
Please know that any gift will be greatly appreciated and please keep Susie, Josh and Emma in your thoughts and prayers as they navigate this difficult time.
All our love from across the ditch. Thinking of you all at this time xx
