Kim is a 17-year-old student from the Philippines. He lives with his parents and four siblings. When he is not in school, he is busy helping his mother with household chores and playing with his friends.
When Kim was 12, he began to experience extreme pain in his genital region. He visited a local hospital where doctors found that one of his testicles had not descended, and recommended surgery.
Seeking treatment through our medical partner, International Care Ministries, Kim is scheduled to undergo surgery to correct his condition on June 28. He is requesting $1,011 to cover the total cost of his procedure and care.
“I am so glad that Kim will be having the chance to undergo surgery,” says Kim’s mother. “I am afraid that Kim has the possibility to develop a tumor. I do not want that to happen to Kim and that is why I am so thankful for this opportunity.”
