Meet Eddy.
He’s 20 months old and loves stories, music and climbing.
“We always joke that he’s half monkey,” his mum Lauren Peroni says.
Eddy is blind and his family has been told by specialists he needs prosthetic eye lenses, costing thousands of dollars each, every six to eight months until he stops growing.
Without new lenses to prop up his growing eye sockets, Eddy’s at risk of part of his face collapsing, leaving him with permanent structural damage.
