Why we are fundraising? Meet Bodhi
Belinda and Timothy's son, Bodhi, had been experiencing a range of symptoms that nobody could explain. He had severe intellectual disability, hearing loss, bone and joint issues, and behavioral and autistic/ADHD traits. After long 18 months, it was discovered that Bodhi inherited a rare recessive disease called Alpha Mannosidosis which results in his body not producing an enzyme responsible for breaking down a specific waste/sugar molecule. This extremely rare storage disorder affects less than 200 people worldwide.
Bodhi had to undergo a bone marrow transplant, and ongoing medical treatment at the hospital far away from home. They were able to call Ronald McDonald House home for 132 nights and stay together as a family during a tough time.
“Having our own space that allowed the family to visit significantly helped Bodhi and my wellbeing. Being so close to the hospital was also extremely appreciated as Bodhi had almost daily oncology appointments.” Belinda Bodhi’s mum
