“I am not at ease seeing my son suffering," shares Joseph's mother. "His elder siblings keep on asking of his whereabouts and whether he will be well and I keep assuring them that he will because I am hopeful. I appreciate the work Watsi is doing and glad that they will help make my son’s life normal." When Joseph, the last-born in a Kenyan family with two sets of twins, was born in June, one the first things his parents were notified of was that their son’s head was larger than that of the average newborn. The doctor further investigated and confirmed what he had previously suspected- it was hydrocephalus, a condition that is not treated in their hospital. Hydrocephalus is a buildup of excess cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) in the brain at birth. The extra fluid can increase pressure in the baby's brain, causing brain damage and mental and physical problems. When Joseph was first diagnosed with hydrocephalus, he was referred for specialized treatment. However, his family could not afford the specialized treatment. The lack of funds did not stop his parents from seeing to it that their son gets the treatment he needs to live the life he ought to. Unfortunately, Joseph was found to have pneumonia and had to get treated for that first before having the surgery. The little savings his parents had were exhausted. Joseph is now ready for the surgery to help drain the excess fluid from his head. This surgery will cost $685, but Joseph's parents are not able to raise the funds needed. Joseph’s mother is a stay-at-home mom and takes care of the children, while his father is employed in a beauty products factory. With an income that can hardly sustain their basic needs, Joseph’s parents are not able to raise the funds required for his surgical care. Let's help make Joseph's treatment possible!
