Meet Precious: a nine-year-old talkative girl who comes from a small village in Nandi County in Western Kenya. She’s a bright third grade student who likes singing at home and at church. She is a second born in a family of two.
Precious lives with her brother in their grandmothers’ house since their parents separated due to family conflicts. Precious’ father is a casual laborer who works really hard to make ends meet. He is always determined to give what is best to his children and he now requests help so that his daughter can be well and be able to continue with her education without difficulty.
Precious visited our medical partner’s facility due to recurrent tonsillitis for more than a year. Medication has not improved her recurring infection and the medical team has recommended she undergo surgery to fully heal. With this treatment, Precious will finally have relief from her symptoms. Her family hopes she will be well and be able to concentrate in school and perform well once she is healthy.
Precious’ father shared, “I would like to see her well. I am motivated to work hard for my children to ensure they get a good education and prosper in life.”
