BRANTFORD - A bottle drive in Brantford is raising money to send a 17 year old the US in order to get a life changing surgery.
Kitchener CTV says 17 year old Caroline Smith suffers from Ehlers Danlos Syndrome and has to go to Baltimore in order to get a special surgery that will cost about $120,000 Canadian.
Ehlers Danlos Syndrome, also known as EDS, is a painful genetic disorder that breaks down the connected tissue inside the body.

Cash donations are also being accepted through a Go Fund Me page.
