Story
Hey everyone.
This is Tiquane Foster, a 4-year-old who is facing a medical emergency (BRAIN TUMOR) and is seeking donations to complete his major surgery urgently.
In January 2025, he was bullied to do summersault at his school in Portmore, St. Catherine, Jamaica, when he refused, his classmate pushed in down, causing him to fall and hit his head on the ground.
He was taken to many private and public hospitals for vomiting, bellyache, and severe headache; however, nobody knew the reason why.
Upon doing a CT scan, it was observed that he has a non-cancerous tumor in his brain.
He did a minor brain shunt surgery in March 2025, where a ventriculoperitoneal (VP) shunt was placed in his brain to drain the excess fluid into his abdomen. His situation has caused his mother to stop from work, given the fact that Tiquane is unable to attend school as he needs around the clock care; this has definitely taken a toll on her, seeing that she is unable to provide for her family financially.
Next up is the major brain surgery (Craniotomy Resection). This procedure is set to take place on May 25, 2025, at a cost of $1,007,958JMD, and will be done at the University Hospital of the West Indies (UWI).
We as the family is asking for some financial support to cover the medical expenses to get Tiquane through this threatening crisis.
