“In a quaint village resides Rose and her grandson, Andrea, a 20-year-old defying conventional norms. Born seemingly ordinary, Andrea’s life took a drastic turn early on. Facing challenges in speech, work, and conventional eating, he relies on breastfeeding and has a tendency to bite things, including people’s fingers, causing understandable unease among those around him. Despite his age, Andrea appears much younger, resembling a mere baby.”
Andrea’s life began in uncertainty. He didn’t cry at birth, puzzling doctors who discovered he couldn’t open his mouth or cry. Fed through a tube, he spent his early days under oxygen support, fighting for survival. His family’s financial struggles forced them to leave the hospital early, and his fragile health led them to abandon hope. However, a glimmer of hope emerged when Andrea cried for the first time, giving his family the determination to care for him against all odds.
Rose, not his biological mother but a caring guardian, stepped in to raise Andrea as her own. This decision transformed her life drastically. Andrea’s condition worsened with time; his teeth grew abnormally, and his legs became rigid, making everyday tasks challenging.
Despite her own age and difficulties, Rose tirelessly cares for Andrea. She creates and sells handicrafts to sustain them and constantly seeks medical treatment for him. However, she faces significant challenges, particularly in transporting Andrea, who often falls sick, to the hospital. The family’s wish is simple yet profound: to provide Andrea with a wheelchair, granting him a chance at a better life.
The funds needed to provide Andrea with a wheelchair will be collected through a GoFundMe campaign, a link always provided in the video description and pinned as the top comment by Afrimax English.
