This little girl is two-month-old Celinah from Kenya. Celinah has a mass on the back of her head due to a condition known as occipital encephalocele. Left untreated, this condition can cause hydrocephalus, delayed milestones, and intellectual disabilities. Celinah lives with her twin brother and parents. Her father supports his wife and three children with the small income he earns as a welder. “I remember the joy I felt when I had my twins. I love them both dearly and hope to see Celinah have her treatment and live a normal life," Celinah's mother says. But the family has had difficulty raising funds for the surgery Celinah needs to secure her healthy development. A $1500 encephalocele repair surgery will remove the mass on her head and reduce her risk of developing hydrocephalus and brain development delays. Let's support Celinah and help her grow into a loving sister and daughter who can enjoy a healthy life with her family!
