Donation protected
our son Calvin  19 years old  was born with a rare genetic disorder,he was born with OHDO Syndrome.He is both Physically and Mentally disabled,tube fed, Autistic ,severe curvature of the spine and  has epilepsy.He can have on a really bad day between 40-60 seizures daily and is on four different medications in which they are not working.We have been lucky enough to be referred to a clinic in Holland for medical treatment for Calvin.we will be required to travel to Holland every three months for on going treatment and really Appriciate any help that can be given.we got a date for next wed for first batch of treatment .Calvin has never had an easy ride through out his life.IF Our Son Calvin could speak im sure these would be his words,From the day i was born i struggled to feed so i needed a feeding tube.i was extremely floppy from birth with no control of my head,I needed a physio therapist in which i saw once a week but my mam and brothers continued day in day out.My mam was told i would  never walk .I did at 5 yrs old.I cried it hurt but my family never gave up on me.I also had an Occuptional therapist,speech therapist but my voice never came.my voice will never be heard. So my mam is my advocate and will go to any lenghts to get me a better quality of life.Since hitting my teenage years my seizures increased ten fold and have left me with a very poor quality of life.I deserve a chance to see if this medication will work for me.DONT TURN YOUR BACK ,I NEED YOUR HELP>Please Please help me to get some quality back in my life.Thank you to you all in advance for your generosity Calvins parents Florence and john(SHAGGY) Roche xx
