Meet Nicela: A little girl who fights through adversity with unshakable courage. Nicela Naude was born at Groote Schuur Hospital and was sadly abandoned by her biological mother.
At just 3 weeks old she was adopted by Maddy & Jacques Naude and life hasn’t been easy for the family. Nicela was diagnosed with Klippel Trenaunay Webber syndrome – a rare, potentially fatal disease in which blood vessels and/or lymph vessels fail to form properly.
A syndrome found in only 1 in 100,000 people, Klippel Trenaunay Webber Syndrome. She was expected to live a very short life, spanning a mere four months. Nicela needs daily medication, treatment and surgeries to improve her quality of life. Unfortunately, Maddy and Jacques aren’t able to keep up with the cost of the treatment as funds and medical aid benefits have been depleted.reached out to the family after Nicela’s parents shared a disheartening update with their followers yesterday.
‘It is with very heavy hearts that we inform you that Nicela’s treatment and surgeries will stop. We have tried our utmost best to keep up with the medical expenses but we are too deep in debt now. We have taken a 2nd and 3rd bond on our home already and will not be able to afford the instalment should we take out another.’. A massive thank you to Willie Delport from eBet, Johan Dreyer from Topwatch, and Thomas Veenstra from RAM Labels for stepping up to help.
