Six-year-old Shurlock Semple, has been diagnosed with a brain tumour by doctors at the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation (GPHC) and has been in the institution’s Intensive Care Unit for the past three weeks. Approximately US$50,000 is needed for surgery, travel for him and his parents, along with meals and accommodation.
Speaking with this publication on Wednesday, relatives of the child said that the doctors at GPHC have installed a “ventricular shunt” (a tube that is surgically placed in one of the fluid-filled chambers in the brain (ventricles)).
The child’s mother, Michelle Semple, said that her son was scheduled to undergo surgery in Trinidad and Tobago on June 18, however due to financial difficulties he was unable to undergo the procedure to remove the tumour. As such, she is issuing an appeal to the public for any financial assistance that they can give to assist her son to have his surgery- bearing in mind that time is of the essence.
Semple said about three months ago her son started complaining of severe headaches and was vomiting, she said she took him to the New Amsterdam Hospital and a number of tests were carried out over a period of time after which he was transferred to the GPHC, where he was diagnosed with a brain tumour.
Anyone desirous of making contributions to the cause can do so through Republic Bank Account # 751025805, or by contacting his parents on telephone numbers 629-2887 or 627-8006.
