Hot Cares helps relieve pain with life changing surgery

Loading player...
Lawrence has been diagnosed with Chronic Cluster Headaches, and Severe Sinusitis which has caused him to have Cysts under his eyes in the cheek bone area and fluid in his head.
After a long battle of seeing doctors and even going to a headache clinic over the past 6 years, Lawrence needs to have a Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery. The doctors have said that this surgery will help him with the Chronic Cluster headaches (75% pain reduction).
Unfortunately, they have tried the government hospital route and Lawrence, and his family are unable to afford this life changing surgery as they are not on medical aid and just do not have R50k to pay for the procedure. Not only does Lawrence live in constant pain, but he is also most nights unable to sleep and has lost 30% of his kidney usage due to all the medication he takes for pain management.
This is how Hot Cares will be helping.
