Hopelyn is a shy one-year-old girl who lives with her mother in Kenya. Hopelyn was born with an umbilical hernia that causes swelling and discomfort around the belly button. Hopelyn is finally old enough to undergo the surgery she needs but her mother, Keziah, cannot afford the cost of the treatment. Keziah is a single mother who worries about her only daughter. She says, "I just wish to see my child normal and growing like other children." Keziah brought Hopelyn to the hospital when she was a few months old but the treatment to reduce the hernia was not successful. Since that time, Keziah has continued to work hard as a grocer but she broke into tears when she first learned how much Hopelyn's surgery would cost. For $500, Hopelyn will receive a herniorrhaphy. This procedure will eliminate her abdominal swelling so that her pain will subside. Let's fund Hopelyn's surgery so that she can lead a healthy and happy childhood with her caring mother, Keziah!
