Alex’s remarkable progress would not have been possible without the assistance of regular donations. He had lip and palate surgery in 2009 at the age of 13. Shortly after his operation Alex’s father died of cancer, leaving behind Alex and his four younger brothers and sisters. As he is the eldest, Alex has had to work to support his family but with the generosity of his regular donors, Alex and his family have the support to allow him to continue with his studies. In 2016, Alex will become a qualified electrician and will soon have gained full-time employment.
