Seven-month-old Geoffrey has an inability to pass stool appropriately. Because his mother just finished secondary school and his father works in a stone mine, Geoffrey is mainly taken care of by his grandmother. Geoffrey’s grandmother is a loving caretaker, but she has two other grandchildren to raise and resources are spread thin. She is unable to afford Geoffrey’s medical care.
Geoffrey needs a proper anus reconstruction so he can pass stool through the right channel. His mother hopes for him “to have a life that is better than her own” so Geoffrey can “grow up responsible and determined.”
