Caden Benjamin needs urgent medical assistance to lead a more comfortable life...

 

Caden Benjamin is not your typical 10 year old boy and has desperately struggled to survive, despite Doctors' prognosis of death. 

 

Earlier this year, Doctors told his single mother to "take him home and make him comfortable", as there was nothing more they could do for him.

 

Connected to a ventilator / oxygen tank 24 hours a day, unable to move and struggling to talk through a trachea, Caden desperately needs urgent financial assistance for medical expenses that the hospital does not cover.

 

At age 3, Caden was diagnosed with a rare, genetic incurable disease that’s slowly claiming his young life, called Prader-Willi Syndrome and underwent a tracheostomy.

 

Prader-Willi Syndrome is a rare genetic disorder where the sufferer’s appetite is never satisfied – their hunger is essentially permanent no matter the amount of food they eat.

 

Caden’s hunger was so extreme, he’d eat toilet paper, dirt or lip balm cases just to satisfy his appetite.

 

At just 10 years old, Caden weighs a staggering 90 kg and spends his days attached to a ventilator, as he’s unable to breathe without it.

 

Caden's most recent visit to the Dr provided the family with further heartbreaking news:  Caden's organs are taking major strain.  They further discovered that the right side under his heart, has a lump forming there. Doctors aren’t sure whether it’s a tumour but further tests will be done.

 

Donations for Caden's increasing medical expenses are desperately needed.
