Paul is an 11-year-old boy from Kenya—the first born son to his parents, who had eagerly awaited his birth. Paul was born a healthy baby, with the exception of a medical condition in a sensitive area.
Paul has had three surgeries at Kenyatta National Hospital to address his condition. A followup procedure has repeatedly been postponed, but the family feels the urgency of their son’s case.
Paul’s family wishes to see him healthy and confident, but they are having difficulty finding the financial means to get him the treatment he needs. Paul’s mother sells tea, and his father is a hired driver. Their combined income is simply not enough to cover Paul’s medical care.
On June 5, surgeons will operate on Paul to address his condition. Our medical partner, African Mission Healthcare Foundation, requests $700 to cover Paul’s medical expenses. His family is contributing $103.
