Summary
A brave little fighter from Durban, Zayden Naicker, born in February 2025, is battling a rare, life-threatening genetic condition — Gorlin-Goltz Syndrome — along with hydrocephalus and macrocephaly, causing severe seizures and developmental delays. His family, drained of savings and credit, is desperately fundraising to cover his intensive medical care, travel, and supplies — aiming for 100,000 rand — while fighting to get him enrolled in medical aid. With backlogs in public hospitals, they’re turning to private care and crowdfunding, hoping for a miracle to save their little warrior.
