Peter is a playful and active two-year-old boy. He’s an only child and is excited to begin school next year. When the pandemic struck, his father unfortunately lost his job. He’s now begun working as a farmer and sells produce to support their family.
Peter was diagnosed with cryptorchidism, a condition in which one or both of the testicles remains undescended. If left untreated, Peter will have an increased risk of developing hernias, testicular cancer, and fertility problems in the future.
Fortunately, our medical partner, African Mission Healthcare (AMH), is helping Peter receive treatment. On September 21st, he will undergo corrective surgery at AMH’s care center. Now, AMH is requesting $646 to cover the total cost of his procedure and care.
Peter’s father shared, “the past few months haven’t been easy for me as a father knowing what could happen if Peter is untreated. I would like to take him to school when he is healthy.”
