Art Auction (Silent Bids) Beneficiary “The Love of Nikki” Back A Buddy Campaign!

Nicela (Nikki) was a born from an unwanted pregnancy and abandoned in a state hospital after she was born.

Life looked very somber for this little baby as she was also born with a very rare syndrome causing a lymphatic and vascular malformation affecting the left side of her body with tumours up to 1kg on her chest and deformity of her left arm and hand.

A syndrome found in only 1 in 100 000 people, Klippel Trenaunay Webber Syndrome.

She was doomed to live a very short and lonely life with her condition as her life expectancy was approximately 4 months. But this was not to be the end of her story.

Jacques and Madelaine Naudé, 2 officers in the South African Police Service, met Nicela through a friend who knew of her. Without any doubts in their minds they began the process to adopt this little girl.

They said they didnt have much but whatever they do have she will also have. They wanted to provide a loving home, siblings, pets, princess parties and much more.

On the 16th of March 2023 Nicela turned 9 years old. She is a beautiful, spontaneous , happy little girl who loves dogs and make-up. Nicela has undergone 8 very complicated debulking surgeries.

Her condition is not curable but the surgeries are done to improve her quality of life. Unfortunately these surgeries are seen as cosmetic and only a fraction of the expenses are covered by their medical aid.

Jacques and Madelaine hopes to take Nicela to the Seattle Childrens Hospital in the near future where they specialize in her syndrome. This however is not possible on their salaries.

They have already taken a second bond on their home to pay medical expenses and are trying to save in every way to keep some funds in her trust.

This family needs your help to make this little girls life exactly what a little girls life should be. Full of beauty, love, laughter and yes make-up.

Lets make this happen for her. Learn more about bidding here https://www.webtickets.co.za
