Jessie is a brave two-year-old guy who lives with his parents and his three siblings in a rural part of the Central Philippines. His father is a hardworking farmer who makes about $25 a month to support his family. When Jessie was born, he endured a series of operations to temporarily fix a congenital defect that prevented him from passing stool properly. The operations may have saved his life, but they also wiped out his parents' savings and did not permanently solve the problem. Now, Jessie is in constant pain and must wear a colostomy bag. But Jessie is a resilient kid, and despite extreme discomfort as a result of his condition, he still loves to sing, dance, and play with his siblings. For $985, Jessie can receive surgery to have his large intestinal hernia repaired and his colostomy closed. “This surgery means everything to us because we can’t ignore or dare to see our son in pain" said Jessie's parents. "I believe after the surgery, my child will live normally like his other siblings and other children, free from pain.” Let's fund Jessie’s surgery so he can live his life to the fullest!
