Lewis is a 6-year-old child from Kenya. He is ini pre-primary school and the firstborn in a family of two children. His mother has been separated from their father and so she is the one who hustles for their livelihoods. She is not employed and does casual work in the neighboring tea farms.
Lewis was diagnosed with cryptorchidism, a condition in which one or both of the testicles remains undescended. If left untreated, Lewis has an increased risk of developing hernias, testicular cancer, and fertility problems in the future.
Lewis will be receiving assistance from our medical partner, African Mission Healthcare Foundation (AMHF). Fortunately, he is scheduled to undergo corrective surgery on June 2nd. AMHF is requesting $506 to cover the total cost of his procedure and care.
“My husband left me with the children and I am really struggling even to feed them. I kindly request for help to treat my son and God will bless you,” said Lewis mother quietly.
