Hot Cares and Eco-Med lend a helping hand to beloved Kennel Assistant who needs urgent surgery

Loading player...
Lebo, a cherished colleague at Silverfields Veterinary Clinic for a decade, is renowned in the community as the "dog whisperer" and "cat charmer." Sadly, he's currently grappling with a severe leg bone infection, causing excruciating pain and impairing his ability to fulfil his duties as a kennel assistant effectively.
As a kennel assistant, Lebo's livelihood is directly affected. The persistent pain compromises his capacity to work and provide for himself and his family. He urgently needs surgery to clean out the infection as it is in the actual bone and can't drain by itself.
Lebo has been through the government hospitals but has been moved from pillar to post and advised of their lengthy waiting periods. The surgery he urgently requires comes with a staggering cost of up to R100,000.
Time is of the essence, and without timely intervention, Lebo's health and livelihood hang in the balance.
