For 44 years, Pieter and Leona have devoted their lives to caring for their children, Anke and Markus, who suffer from mitochondrial myopathy. Their parents, still working full-time at 72, have always been by their side, providing unwavering love and care.

Now, as they prepare for the future, Pieter and Leona need support to maintain the quality care Anke and Markus require. Your donation will help fund their current home care (R24,854/month) and ensure a smooth transition to the Aurora Special Care Centre Residence (R38,154/month) when the time comes.

One in five thousand individuals has a genetic mitochondrial disease.

Mitochondrial myopathies are a group of neuromuscular diseases caused by damage to the mitochondria, the energy-producing structures that serve as the cells' "power stations".
