Blessing is a five-month-old baby girl from Kenya who lives with her parents. Her mother is a housewife, and her father does casual day tasks to earn an income for their family. When Blessing was one month old, her head began growing at a rapid rate. Her parents took her to a local hospital, where she was referred to our medical partner's care center, Bethany Kids Kijabe Hospital (BKKH). At BKKH, Blessing was diagnosed with hydrocephalus, a condition in which excess cerebrospinal fluid accumulates in the brain. She was recommended for a shunt insertion surgery to drain the fluid. Our medical partner, African Mission Healthcare Foundation, is asking for $685 to cover the cost of hospital stay, medication, and lab fees. Blessing’s surgery will help eliminate the pressure on her brain, giving her the ability to live a long, healthy life.
