Josephine Morgan is raising funds to send son Tommi to a clinic in Germany for specialist eye treatment.
A Lanarkshire mum who believes her son went blind due to water contamination at his school is raising funds to send him to Germany for specialist treatment - in the hope of restoring his sight.
Tommi was 13-years-old when he lost his sight completely back in 2013 after suddenly developing an ulcer on his right cornea, the Sunday Mail reports.Mum Josephine, 44, claims he also tested positive for heavy metal poisoning. Despite her claims, an independent review commissioned by the Scottish Government in 2019 found no link to ill health.
She explained: “Tommi losing his sight devastated him and turned his whole life upside down. Even if this gives him 10 per cent vision, as his mum, I wouldn’t forgive myself if I didn’t do everything to help him.It will cost £12,000 for Tommi, who has autism, to undergo the 10-day treatment.
