Voice of Byron regular, Paul Garrett, shared this heart-rending call for support for an Ocean Shores 10-year-old boy.
Donate to Cairo’s GoFundMe fund here
Cairo was aged 3 when he was diagnosed with a benign brain tumor and has ongoing surgery.
His mother Kelly is a single parent and cannot work full time due to the fact Cairo can take a turn anytime and its hospital again.
We travel from Ocean Shores to Lady Cilento Hospital in Brisbane and she has no car.
We take my 18 year old car (I am Kelly’s mother), the trip is over 300 km return.
In September 2015 Cairo started having seizures and was diagnosed with epilepsy, which has doctors putting him on a high priority list as they are having trouble getting seizures under control.
Cairo will be 10 in march, and we have been doing this for 7 years now. It is becoming an increasing battle as we sometimes have a trip every fortnight.
The reason we need funding is to help with all the medication he needs and also to keep my old car going(has a failing head gasket that is going to cost over $1900 to repair).
We have exhausted all other avenues to get help. Please help us.
