Ezekiel has been diagnosed with hydrocephalus, a condition in which excess cerebrospinal fluid accumulates in the brain and increases intracranial pressure. As a result of his condition, Ezekiel has been crying a lot, vomiting, and experiencing seizures. Without treatment, Ezekiel will experience severe physical and developmental delays.
Our medical partner, African Mission Healthcare Foundation, is requesting $1,300 to cover the cost of surgery for Ezekiel that will treat his hydrocephalus. The procedure is scheduled to take place on July 22nd and will drain the excess fluid from Ezekiel’s brain. This will reduce intracranial pressure and greatly improve his quality of life. With proper treatment, Ezekiel will hopefully develop into a strong, healthy young boy.
Ezekiel’s mother shared, “Please help my son, he was a happy boy before he started getting sick. Please help him get better.”

Ezekiel underwent hydrocephalus surgery.
Our medical partner shared an update with us that due to an infection, Ezekiel’s surgery changed from an ETV + CPC to a VPS insertion. His doctors felt this would be a better treatment for his growing body. The surgery went well and helped correct the acquired hydrocephalus that was putting him in pain and suffering. Through this treatment, Ezekiel has been saved from further damage of his brain by relieving the pressure that was building up and helping to stop his fevers, vomiting, and seizures. He is currently doing fine and starting to recover, getting back to a healthy place.
Ezekiel’s mother shared, “We had no other means to afford our son’s treatment cost since we have been left with no saving. Thank you very much for helping making this possible and may God bless you and add more to your life.”
