Morgan is a young boy from Kenya who was diagnosed with nasal blockage a few weeks ago at Kijabe hospital. At two years, Morgan’s mother noticed her son had difficulties in breathing and thought that to be a common flu. But this condition went on for quite a longer time than the normal flu, raising concern. They went to the nearest hospital and were put on medication, which barely helped. A friend advised them to visit Kijabe Hospital where Morgan was diagnosed with adenoids and tonsillitis and surgery recommended. They came back to the hospital and were told that Morgan needed adenotonsillectomy surgery to improve his condition.
Morgan’s mother is employed as a casual saloon attendant with little income to meet her son’s cost of surgery. Morgan was abandoned at birth by his biological father. It would be very fulfilling for his mother to see him breathe normally again and be comfortable after a long and uncomfortable experience.
Our medical partner, African Mission Healthcare Foundation, is requesting $779 to fund an adenotonsillectomy for Morgan, which is scheduled to take place on December 9th. Surgeons will remove his tonsils and adenoids, hopefully relieving Morgan of his symptoms and helping him live more comfortably.
“I look forward to those days my son can sleep peacefully,” says Morgan’s mother.
