Baby Emebet is one month old and lives in Ethiopia with his loving family. His father is a teacher, and his mother is a homemaker. He is his parents' first child. Baby Emebet was born with a condition called esophageal atresia, which means his upper esophagus ends abnormally early and does not connect with the lower esophagus and stomach. As a result, he cannot eat or swallow. He receives nutrition through an external tube connecting to his stomach, but this is not a permanent solution. Without treatment, Baby Emebet is at high risk for lung infections and other complications. Emebet needs surgery so he can eat normally. For $1,500, Emebet will receive life-altering surgery so that he can lead a healthy life. Let's make it happen for him!
