Nahom is a handsome four-year-old boy from Ethiopia. He lives with his twin brother and mother, who works to support her family as a government employee.
Nahom was born with hypospadias, a congenital malformation that prevents him from passing urine normally. Left untreated, Nahom is at risk for infertility when he grows up. Nahom’s mother, worried about her son’s condition, has saved all her earnings just to finance trips to and from the hospital. Unfortunately, she is unable to pay for treatment to resolve his condition permanently.
For $1,200 Nahom can receive corrective surgery, which will allow him to urinate normally and end his risk for infertility. Let’s fund Nahom’s surgery and give him the chance to lead a normal childhood and a healthy adult life!
