Meet Clement, a four-month-old boy living in Kenya. Clement , an only child, lives with his mom and step-grandmother. He was born with hydrocephalus, a condition that causes excess fluids to build on the brain resulting in swelling. Clement’s condition can cause seizures, loss of vision, brain damage and even death if not treated. “I hope that I’ll get support so that he can get his treatment as soon as possible,” says Clement’s mother. His mother is currently unable to raise funds for Clement’s surgery. For $980, doctors can insert a shunt that will allow excess fluid to drain from Clement’s brain. This will prevent life-threatening side-effects and allow Clement to grow healthy and strong!

Nipely is a one-year-old baby boy living in Haiti. When Nipely was five months old, he began getting sick and having seizures often. His mother took him to our local medical partner, Project Medishare. He was diagnosed with hydrocephalus, a buildup of fluid in his brain that places extra pressure on his brain and puts him at increased risk of a stroke, vision loss, and death. For $1,260, Nipely will receive surgery to drain the excess fluid in his skull. Doctors say this will decrease his risk of growing up paralyzed or having nerve damage, and save his life. Let's help relieve his mom's worries and afford Nipely a normal life!
