Amen is a toddler from Ethiopia. He loves to play and laugh with people. Amen loves to watch animated movies and to work on puzzles. His mother is a cook, while his father is a tailor.
Amen was diagnosed with cryptorchidism, a condition in which one or both of the testicles remains undescended. If left untreated, Amen has an increased risk of developing hernias, testicular cancer, and fertility problems in the future.
Amen will be receiving assistance from our medical partner, African Mission Healthcare Foundation (AMHF). Fortunately, he is scheduled to undergo corrective surgery on March 22. AMHF is requesting $717 to cover the total cost of his procedure and care.
His mother says, “We can’t afford the bill for his surgery since I am a cook and my salary is very low to even cover our rent. Also my husband’s salary is limited to our basic monthly needs.”
