Dear friends and family,

I am asking for your help in giving my sweet nieces, Charlotte and Sophie, the opportunity to receive a life changing eye surgery. They were born with Blepharophimosis Syndrome (BPES), a rare genetic condition that affects their eyelid muscles and impacts their overall vision and vision development.

They are currently seeing a specialist at Sick Kids, however the only available procedure in

Ontario is widely considered an outdated technique (frontalis silicone sling) with a higher risk of potential complications and typically requires multiple surgeries throughout their life.

After extensive research, their parents, Erinn and Kyle, made the decision to reach out to Dr. Ramon Medel in Spain, a world-renowned expert in BPES surgery. His innovative techniques (frontalis flap) offer several advantages:



Permanent results: No need for multiple surgeries.

Minimal invasiveness: Less scarring and discomfort.

Lower risk of complications: A safer procedure.

More natural results: Completely removing all impact to vision and vision development.

Unfortunately, the cost of the surgery, travel, and accommodations is a large unexpected

expense, with the surgeries alone costing $52,000 CAD. The procedure requires a 10 day stay in Spain, and the associated travel expenses are anticipated to be another $10,000+ CAD.

By supporting Charlotte and Sophie’s journey to Spain for their BPES surgeries, you'd be helping them more than words can say. Every contribution, no matter how small, will make a significant difference for the family. We are so grateful for your generosity and support.
