Help Uvongo’s Ruan recover from accident injuries

The 26-year-old Uvongo man was involved in an accident along Seaslopes Road last Wednesday.

An Uvongo family is trying to raise much-needed funds to cover the hospital bills of their son and brother Ruan Kleynhans (26), who sustained life-threatening injuries in a vehicle accident last Wednesday.

Kleynhans’ sister, Tricia Kleynhans, said her brother was a passenger and seated in the back, when the vehicle veered off the road along Seaslopes Road in Manaba.

“He has bleeding on both sides of the brain and his skull is fractured in two places. He had brain surgery and is currently in ICU.”

A BackaBuddy campaign, Standing together for Ruan, has been started as his medical insurance has reached its limit. To donate visit the BackaBuddy website and click on https://www.backabuddy.co.za/campaign/standing-together-for-ruan

“To keep Ruan from being transferred to a state hospital, we desperately need the funds to help him continue to get the necessary treatment and care from the current hospital. If anyone can help us by donating and praying, it would be appreciated. Every little bit helps,” said Tricia.
