Leo's Journey: A Kind-Hearted Man Facing Unique Challenges

My brother, Leo. A true Yogi at heart. Compassionate. Understanding. Ever Hopeful. Kind. Adaptable.

Leo, a kind-hearted man who faces unique challenges, has been dealt a difficult hand in life. With learning disabilities and diabetes, he requires constant care and is unable to live independently. Recently, Leo experienced a devastating loss when his mother, his sole caregiver, passed away unexpectedly from aggressive metastatic breast cancer. Now without a home or a support system, Leo's sister Kari has taken on the responsibility of finding him a safe place to live. However, complicated and costly visa restrictions have made it impossible for Leo to stay in the UK with his sister. 
​
This blog post aims to shed light on Leo's situation and rally support to ensure his journey back to South Africa and provide him with the care he needs.

​Leo's Dilemma: 
For the past 12 years, Leo has been living with his mother in South Africa until her sudden passing four months ago. Following her funeral, Leo's sister Kari, who has been residing in the UK for over 23 years, was left with no choice but to bring him back with her. Unfortunately, due to visa restrictions, Leo cannot stay in the UK, leaving Kari with the daunting task of finding him a residential care home in South Africa. However, she lacks the funds necessary to secure his future.
​

Raising Funds for Leo:
To ensure Leo's safe journey back to South Africa and his placement in a residential care home that can cater to his needs, we are launching a fundraising campaign. The funds raised will cover essential expenses, including flights for Leo and Kari, basic necessities such as a bed and clothes, the initial months of residential care fees, and his essential medical care for diabetes until he can receive proper health care within the South African system. Time is of the essence, as Leo's visitor visa is set to expire in December, leaving him in a precarious situation.
​
