The surgery costs US$22,000, or more than J$3 million, for which full payment is required by October 5.

The surgery is scheduled to take place on October 20.

As a Kingston College old boy, Reid says he lives by the school's motto, 'The brave may fall but never yield'. He is imploring readers to help his cause.

He told our news team, "I regard this challenge as another fight that I will overcome with your support."

WAYS TO DONATE

- A GoFundMe account 'Urgent Brain Surgery (Gamma Knife)' has also been created to aid the cause. Up to yesterday, US$5,100 was raised by 129 people.

- Donations can be made via cheque or wire transfer directly to the Miami Neuroscience Center at the First National Bank of South Miami, 5750 Sunset Drive, South Miami, Florida 33143, account number 101904121 (c/o Jou'Vaughn Reid).
