Jonathan is a 23-month-old boy—the last born with three older brothers. The family lives in a single roomed rental house. His mother is a farmer while his father operates a Boda Boda taxi business. Their income is limited to make ends meet and cover the surgery costs that Jonathan needs.
Since birth, Jonathan has had inguinal hernia. The hernia presents as a swell around his inguinal area and gives him restlessness and pain especially when the swell is visible. He requires an inguinal hernia repair, which his parents are not able to pay for and requests help. Fortunately, on December 8th, he will undergo hernia repair surgery at our medical partner’s care center.
Our medical partner, African Mission Healthcare, is requesting $230 to fund Jonathan’s surgery. Once completed, this procedure will hopefully allow him to live more comfortably and confidently.
Jonathan’s family shared that Jonathan has been suffering for a long time and they wish to see him grow up happy, healthy, and able to play with other children.
