Charity single for Baby Jacob made available
Nine-month-old Jacob Nowak was born in Millstreet, Co Cork. The youngster, whose Polish parents Mariusz and Wiola moved to Ireland in 2006, was born with an extremely rare condition, called Anophthalmus.
As a result his eyes never formed in their sockets before birth. Anophthalmia affects fewer than one in 100,000 children but, in Jacob’s case, it left him without eyeballs or optic nerves. Up to the age of seven he is expected to undergo surgery an average of four times a year.
