Innocent is a six-year-old boy from a village in Malawi, where he lives with his mother. He loves playing outside with his friends and going to school.
For three years, Innocent has had an inguinal (groin) hernia, where soft tissue bulges through a weak point in the abdominal muscles. He has not been able to access treatment for his hernia, which causes pain and decreases his energy. This makes it hard for him to participate in school.
Innocent and his family have known others to undergo hernia repairs so they do not feel afraid. They are ready for him to have the surgery and feel better. $327 will cover the costs of the surgery and care Innocent needs.
