A 6-year-old boy, who was diagnosed with a rare brain tumour months ago is in need of life-saving surgery and his family along with non-governmental organisation Saving Hands Emergency Aid (SHEA) is seeking help in raising the funds to have the procedure done overseas.
SHEA has since embarked on a fundraiser to assist Persaud with the surgery and treatment- related expenses. The amount required is US$35,000.
Speaking to the Sunday Stabroek yesterday, the child’s mother, Alicia Persaud explained that Persaud started to experience severe headaches and vomiting in 2019.
