My cousin

I have this cousin he is about 13 if If I'm not mistaken and he is completely deaf. When his mother applied for him to get a cochlear implant they rejected his application and thats when the costing of the surgery would amount to somewhere around R30 000.

Currently it's about R120 000, and with speech therapy and other costs, it would probably come to R200 000 or more. I need to think of ways to raise money to help. His family ain't exactly got money and are really struggling as it is. He has a sister who is half dead, but we not certain why ,but she turned out autistic (not sure?). She doesn't function as a normal person, runs around taking her clothes off and totally abnormal activities. So they could really use the help. It feels as if I do nothing about it , then nothing is going to get done. He WANTS to hear, I know it's frustrating for him.I'd pay anything to be able hear, there is definitely no cost on being able to hear.

I need to be strategic, start something that will help me change his life, but at the same time initiate something so great it could change other peoples live as well. Well, I can't really think of such things now since it's almost exams, but afterwards. I want to help and as his cousin I feel it is my duty to. I wish I were super rich, that way I could just give the money.

I so want to become a billionaire - that way I can have an awesome life, but at the same time I can directly help people.
