Helping out Mr Rawkus - Read more on the benefit concert!

My mom...Allison Eckstein is having a concert to raise funds for corrective surgery once again.

She has had five (5) major surgeries in the last five (5) years where she suffered total blindness. This traumatic experience is affecting her both emotionally and physically. However, her present challenge is a complication called Chronic Oseomylitis of the frontal lobe which developed after the removal of the Meningioma in 2006. Several unsuccessful attempts have been made locally to manage the Chronic Oseomylitis. As a result of this, she suffers constant headaches, fluid leakage from the forehead which requires daily dressing, not to mention the daily emotional distress that she has to endure.

As a result, further surgical exploration and debridgement is necessary to bring closure to her traumatic journey.

We traveled to Orlando and she had the surgery needed, however the healing process has not been going as well as expected and as such, she needs to return to Orlando for the surgeon that did the operation to rectify this as best as possible. For this reason we are once again asking for your help.

Seeing that many people enjoyed the concert we put on earlier this year and it also contributed greatly to the cause, we've decided to put on another one with the help of Queen's Hall and various artistes. Once again, your assistance would be greatly appreciated.
