Say hello to Shameem, a sweet three-year-old from Kenya! She has a six-year-old sister who just started school. Her mother is a housewife and her father works as a mechanic. Recently, a candle in their home fell and set the house ablaze. Shameem was left with burn scars on her face and arm. The scars are very noticeable and if Shameem does not seek treatment she is likely to have low self-esteem as she grows up. Shameem’s parents have successfully raised $375 towards a surgery that will help reduce the scarring, but they still need $1500 more. Her mother says, “I want my daughter to get well so that she can have a normal life and not be scared for life.” Let's help Shameem so she can grow up with good health and confidence!
