Favour is a baby from Kenya. She has been diagnosed with hydrocephalus, a condition in which excess cerebrospinal fluid accumulates in the brain and increases intracranial pressure. Without treatment, Favour will experience severe physical and developmental delays.
Our medical partner, African Mission Healthcare Foundation, is requesting $685 to cover the cost of surgery for Favour that will treat her hydrocephalus. The procedure is scheduled to take place on December 4 and will drain the excess fluid from Favour's brain. This will reduce intracranial pressure and greatly improve her quality of life. With proper treatment, Favour will hopefully develop into a strong, healthy young girl.
