Desmond is almost two-years-old and is his parents’ pride and joy. Desmond was born in Kenya with bilateral inguinal hernias which, if untreated, could be fatal.
Desmond’s father dreams of the day that his first born will lead a normal life, but he cannot afford the cost of his child’s surgery. Desmond lives with his mother and grandfather while his father travels hundreds of kilometers away to work as a casual laborer along the Kenya-Tanzania border.
For $750, Desmond will receive the surgery he needs to alleviate the pain and potential malignancy of his hernias. Let’s help Desmond and his family overcome this medical problem and move forward with their lives.
