When Peterson was three months old, he began showing symptoms of hydrocephalus. He has excess fluid in his brain, which makes his head swollen and places excess pressure on his nerves and the blood vessels in his brain. Peterson now has seizures that keep him from easily moving his hands. This six-month-old little boy hails from the countryside of Haiti. His mother looks after him and his siblings while also attending school. She cannot afford the $1,260 procedure that could save her son's life. With our support, Peterson will receive surgery to drain the excess fluid from his brain. His seizures will occur less frequently, or stop altogether. Doctors expect that his head and face will return to a normal state. Let’s help Peterson live a healthier life!

This is Wensley, a playful two-year-old boy from Haiti. He first began to display symptoms of hydrocephalus one year ago. Hydrocephalus, which causes fluid to accumulate in the brain, makes it difficult for Wensley to hold his head upright and has made him more susceptible to other illnesses like the flu. Wensley loves playing with toys and is very eager to interact with other children. His mother, who usually stays home to care for Wensley, cannot afford his treatment. She says, "I think if my child can be healed, I will be very happy, and I will do my best to help him grow normally and have a normal life." Help us raise the $1260 needed for a surgical intervention. This treatment will allow Wensley to have a healthier life, to play with children his age, and to fulfill his mother's dreams.

Yishak is a 1-year-old boy with a serious foot deformity. If left untreated, Yishak’s deformity could prevent him from being able to walk. Fortunately, doctors at CURE Hospital in Ethiopia can perform surgery to correct Yishak’s condition. With treatment, they are confident that he “can live a full and productive life.” Yishak and his mother traveled 4 hours to seek medical care at CURE. His mother tried once before to get her son treated, but she was turned away because the clinic didn’t have the equipment needed to help him. Yishak’s mother is hopeful that her son will make a full recovery and live a normal life.
