Two-year-old Akiya is a tough little guy. He was born with a congenital malformation that makes him unable to pass stool properly. Because of Akiya’s condition, Akiya’s mother quit working as a teacher to take care of him at home. Akiya and his mother now depend on his father to support the family and pay his medical bills. But even with Akiya’s father’s income, Akiya’s parents are unable to afford the surgery that Akiya requires. Akiya’s mother says, “If my son can get cured, this will be a renewal for me and my family.” For $1,000, we can fund Akiya’s surgery so he can pass stool normally and look forward to a healthy future!
