Chattanooga Toddler Kuper Loses Fight With Tay-Sachs Disease
We first told you about Kuper back in January of 2013.
Over the weekend his mother Carisa Holewinksi confirmed via Kuper’s Facebook page that the toddler had passed away.
Tay-Sahs is a rare disease that affects the nervous and spinal systems of those of French-Canadian and Ashkenazi Jew and Dutch Amish backgrounds.
The disease left Kuper unable to walk or communicate and can only be passed on when both parents are carriers.
A fund has been setup to cover the funeral costs.
