Isabel Rheeder Junior - Cancer treatment in India

Good day all

Thank you for taking time to read our fundraising reason. 

My brother and his wife recently found out that their 9 year old daughter, Isabel, had a brain tumour. It was surgically removed during an emergency operation at Bloemfontein Mediclinic on the 10^th of January 2024. The tumour was identified as a Medulloblastoma, a Central Nervous System tumour that targets children specifically.

It has not spread to any other part of her body and her spinal fluid tested negative for any tumour cells. This is a huge blessing.

In order to prevent this tumour from growing again, their oncologist, together with a team of international oncologists, decided that the safest type of radiation treatment for her would be Proton Radiation. This treatment is not available in South Africa yet. Isabel is scheduled to start her treatment at the Apollo Cancer Treatment Centre in Chennai, India, on the 5^th of February 2024.

After two months of radiation in India, she will still need to get chemotherapy over the next 8 months in South Africa (in a town away from her home)

As you can imagine, the flights, accommodation, and treatment in India as well as South Africa will have an extremely big financial impact on their family.

This is a huge mountain to climb, but together we can assist Isabel’s parents to raise the funds and assist Isabel in her journey to healing.

Please open your hearts to this little Angel, Isabel Jnr needs to know that we all care about her.
