This five-year-old had cochlear implant done a few years ago, however, nothing changed. He was only two years old at the time.

He was born on October 21 2013, with the umbilical cord wrapped around his neck, causing him to turn blue due to a lack of oxygen.

The family still believe in him, but they need all the support they can get from the public.

They need about R274 000 so that the implant can be done, hopefully allowing Logan to hear.

A few years ago his grandmother, Pippa Georgina Solomon, started a Facebook group, Donations for Logan, as his medical expenses thus far have put strain on his family. Logan also has other siblings who require support.

She said they are planning to host a fund-raising event on April 27.

“His medical aid cannot cover this, since they categorise this as cosmetic. There are a lot of things that the family still pays for. We also have a trust, though it does not cover petrol and some other things,” she said.

Solomon said her grandson had grown.

“We got him a tablet and he loves it so much. He is such a lovely child and he smiles a lot. I just wish he can get the help he needs,” she said.

The fund-raiser will be a fun-filled event with various things to do that cater for the entire family.

It will hosted at Mynland, Secunda.

“We have Vaughr C Lucas, Doane, Leonardo, ShoNeill, Liza Storm, Angel, Jarryd, Charlie Nash, and Potru B coming to the event.

We will also have stalls, traditional family sports, cash bar, jumping castles and competitions,” she said.

Adults will pay a R50 entry fee, kids (aged six to 12) R20 and those under six enter for free.
