Two-year-old Jeuisha lives with her mother, grandmother and an older brother in Nepal. Her father works in India to make ends meet for the family back home, while her mother works in the field to feed the family. “Jeuisha fell from the porch of her house and fractured her right femur," her doctor at Possible Health tells us. "The area of injury has swollen considerably, and is tender and painful. She can no longer play or eat on her own." In the area of Nepal where Possible works, getting proper care outside of a hospital is difficult for patients with fractures. Often times, there are not many resources for sufficient medical care or first aid. For $224, we can fund a treatment that will heal Jeuisha’s fracture. The treatment will ensure that Jeiusha’s bones are aligned correctly, and a plaster cast will allow the fracture to heal and ensure long-term improvements. After full recovery, she will be able to return to her normal life.

Lopenyo is a four-month old baby boy, the most recent addition to his family of thirteen children. The family lives in a grass-thatched, mud-walled house in Kenya where they raise livestock to support themselves. Unfortunately, they recently many of their animals and much of their farmable land because of a drought in their region. Our medical partner, African Mission Healthcare Foundation (AMHF), has diagnosed Lopenyo with hydrocephalus, a medical condition where there is a buildup of fluid in the cavities deep within the brain. The extra fluid exerts pressure on the developing brain, and can cause head enlargement, loss of vision, permanent brain damage, and death. “He has been vomiting especially in the mornings, is very irritable and seems drowsy,” reports AMHF. “Lopenyo is likely to have delayed development.” For $980, we can help fund treatment to drain Lopenyo’s excess intra-cranial fluid, regulate his intra-cranial pressure, and reduce his risk of suffering permanent brain damage or premature death. “Our family lives a very simple life and now that my son is sick, I feel devastated that we cannot meet his care. I really wish that he gets treated soon,” says Lopenyo’s mother. Let’s help make her dream a reality.
