William is a baby from Kenya. He is the 3rd born in a family of three children and they live with their parents. William’s mother does not work; she is a housewife while the father is a casual worker at construction sites. William was diagnosed with cryptorchidism, a condition in which one or both of the testicles remains undescended. If left untreated, William has an increased risk of developing hernias, testicular cancer, and fertility problems in the future. William will be receiving assistance from our medical partner, African Mission Healthcare Foundation (AMHF). Fortunately, he is scheduled to undergo corrective surgery on September 9th. AMHF is requesting $459 to cover the total cost of his procedure and care. “Every single day as I bathe my baby I check hoping the testis would descend by itself but no change. I kindly request for support so that he can be well and grow up like other boys” said William’s mother.

Peace is a five-year-old girl from Kenya. She is very polite and friendly. Her mother is a laborer. Unfortunately, her father passed away five years ago after a long illness. Peace has a condition called severe bilateral genu valgus, also known as knock knees. This means her knees bend and touch each other when her legs are straightened. This condition hinders her ability to walk and causes her pain. Fortunately, she is scheduled to undergo corrective orthopedic surgery at our medical partner's care center on May 24. This surgery will eliminate her pain and allow her to walk. Her mother needs help raising $1,165. “I will be happy if you help my daughter undergo surgery and later on join school," says her mother.
