Sweet three-month-old Paulo was born without the ability to pass stool. Just after he was born, he was diagnosed with Hirschsprung’s disease, a condition that affects the nerves in the large intestines and causes intestinal blockages. Because of the urgent nature of his condition, Paulo was given a colostomy, an alternative waste disposal opening located in his abdomen. In order to live a normal life, Paulo needs surgery to remove the affected intestines and create a normal passage to replace the preliminary colostomy. Paulo’s parents are very poor and cannot pay for his treatment. “Although we don't have much, our prayer is for our son to survive and live a normal life,” they told our medical partner. For $1,200, we can raise the funds to pay for Paulo’s surgery and give him the chance to have a normal childhood!
