Abin is a 14-year-old boy and the third born in a family of four children. Abin has one brother and two sisters, all of them are in school. Abin is a quiet boy, letting his mother answer questions for him. Abin's family lives in a two-roomed mud-built house. His parents work as farmers and their income is just enough to meet the family's basic needs.
One month ago, Abin noticed a swelling. This swelling is painful, causing discomfort while Abin sleeps or walks. Abin was taken to our medical partner's care center in Nyakibale Hospital and was diagnosed with a cyst that needs to be surgically removed. Our medical partner, African Mission Healthcare, is helping Abin's family raise $188 so can he can receive this surgery on September 6th.
Abin's mother says, “I hope when my son gets treated, he will be out of pain and resume his day-to-day life with ease.”
