Sophie's Fight Against Rare Eye Disease | Australia News
Description
A thirteen-year-old girl, Sophie Carruthers, is fighting a rare, aggressive autoimmune condition called uveitis that’s now threatening her remaining vision — after being misdiagnosed at age five and losing her left eye. Eight years later, her right eye is under attack, forcing grueling five-hour trips to Adelaide for care, mounting medical bills, and a shattered school and social life. Her single mom, Jasmine Kennett, bravely shares their story to warn other parents and rally support — while Sophie, with unshakable courage, refuses to give up. Their GoFundMe is open to help cover the costs of survival.
