Joseba Andoni suffered a serious accident in a swimming pool when he was only 11 months, when he almost drown and suffered brain damage. Since then, he has shown delayed development and suffers from seizures. In 2007, his family moved to Florida where he began therapy at the Miami Children’s Hospital. There, his mother Eneritz and his aunt got in touch with the Basque club with whom they began to collaborate selflessly. Now, it’s time to return the favor: at the age of 8, Joseba Andoni is no longer eligible to receive aid, and the Euskal Etxea in Miami has started a campaign to help his family with the costs of the new treatment that has promising success rates.
