A man is seeking public help to undergo treatment in Cuba after being diagnosed with the crippling disease.

Valence Emmanuel,34, is suffering from Guillain-Barre Syndrome and is being cared for by his common law wife Joanna Joseph.

Emmanuel has become partially blind as a result and is reaching out to the community to assist him in raising the funds needed to fund his operation in Cuba. He needs to raise $10,000 for the operation.

Joanna, who has been living with Valence for the past 12 years said he has been blind for at least a year and three months.

Speaking about the predicament she now finds herself in since Emmanuel who was the main breadwinner is ill and unable to work, Joanna says that she is under a lot of stress as she strives to bring in the funds to pay the bills , feed her family and look after her sick partner.
