Yohannes is a seven-year-old boy living in Ethiopia. Due to severe abdominal swelling and inflammation, he is unable to pass urine and is very prone to infection. Our medical partner has diagnosed Yohannes with bilateral ureteric obstruction, a blockage at the junction of the urethra and the kidneys. This painful condition can lead to kidney failure and even death if left untreated. Yohannes is the only child of his aging mother. His father has three other wives and is the sole breadwinner of his big family. After paying for a previous surgery for Yohannes, his father cannot afford to pay for the additional treatment that Yohannes needs. For only $1,000, we can fund a major surgery for Yohannes which will restore urine flow from his kidneys to his urethra. The cost will also include medication and hospitalization before and after the procedure. “I want my only child to live and have a good life" said Yohannes' mother. With your support, we can let Yohannes live a pain-free life and help make his mother's hopes a reality!

Bartolina is a 38-year-old Mayan woman living in Guatemala. She went to the doctor because of severe pain and swelling in her chest and arm, and it turns out she has a large cyst inside her breast.
