Hi All,

It would be nice if anyone can please provide me with some guidance

I live in London and have been contacted by my friend in India for his 6 year old son, who is suffering with neurological disorder resulting in seizures on a daily basis.
The number of seizures can vary from 100 to 35 per day.

I took the kid's reports and consulted couple of private neurosurgeons from reputed hospitals and based on preliminary examination I was pleased to hear that he can be treated, which will result in significant improvement
A detailed examination will only take place once he has arrived in the UK and the neurosurgeon has looked at him personally

However, the approximate cost of treatment I have been quoted is between £30,000-£50,000, which is way beyond my friend's means

Can someone please provide me with some advice on charities which might be sponsoring medical treatments for Non UK resident child

As know you can understand the parents are in huge distress and pain, any guidance shall be much appreciated

Thanks

If I were you I would repost this on the chat forum. I think you need much more traffic than is on this board.

I hope your friend gets the charity backing that she needs.

Thanks Trish for the advice. I have reposted it on the chat forum.
Fingers crossed
