Nine-year-old Samuel is a local and loved member of the Wilston-Grange community. At the end of 2026 he will undergo major craniofacial surgery in the US (Dallas TX) to treat his Apert Syndrome, and we would love your help to support him!

This will be Samuel's fourth and most critical corrective surgery. It involves mid-face advancement through a procedure called Le Fort III using a Rigid External Distraction (RED). This will expand Samuel's skull to allow room for his brain to continue growing and to aid with breathing, feeding, and other developmental needs. If you'd like to read in more depth on Apert Syndrome and the surgeries required please see here.

On behalf of Samuel and his family, thank you so much for your generous support!
