Little girl with craniofacial deformity in need of support
Mia's parents described her as a loving girl with a strong personality
Freeway Park’s Mia Nordeje (6), who has a craniofacial deformity, needs the community’s support.
Mia was born without cheekbones and has no proper structure under her eyes to protect her eyes.
The little girl’s parents, Dessri and Eddie Nordeje explained that Mia now urgently needs to undergo an operation.
“It is important for her to go for a fat-grafting operation because of the risk that the lower eyelids can pop inside out and expose the eyes,” Dessri said.
The family would like to get the operation done before she goes to Grade One next year.
The parents stressed they need funds to pay for the surgery.
“We would appreciate it if you can open your hearts to assist us to raise funds for her operations to be done as soon as possible.”
Mia is also in need of a hearing aid because she is deaf in one ear.
Dessri and Eddie started a Back-a-Buddy page, https://www.backabuddy.co.za/mia-nordeje, and are organising fund-raising events for Mia’s medical costs.
You can support the fund-raising events to assist Mia’s family.

The parents expressed their gratitude to those who supported them so far.
