Jacqui Wakeman hasn't added a story.
Kevin is just 17 years old and up until a few weeks ago he was healthy and happy, and looking forward to his future ahead. A keen footballer and sportsman he practically lived in his trainers. That all came to an abrupt halt in June 2014 when he started feeling pain in his hip joints. After many tests, Kevin was diagnosed with bone cancer in his pelvis.
As the tumour is extremely advanced the doctors opinion is that he needs radical surgery to remove part of his pelvis (and possibly his hip joint), and then reconstruct them using custom made metal implants. Facilities for this are obviously not available in Barbados, and therefore Kevin and his Mum Wendy are flying to Canada for his treatment.
Luckily the foresight of his loving parents ensured that he was covered by Medical Insurance which is covering the majority of the 225 000 USD which is needed to perform the surgery required.
However, as you can imagine although the insurance is covering some of the costs, they don't cover all of the costs and that is where friends, and family and the goodwill of you, come in.
We're raising funds to cover the 20 % excess not covered by the insurance, expenses whilst in Canada and the additional expenses that will be needed for Kevin's rehabilitation.
Anything you can give will be gratefully and lovingly received and you will be blessed. With your help Kevin will be able to kick cancer and get back to looking forward to his future once again!
