Stanley is a student and the firstborn in a family of two. His parents are small-scale farmers who grow food crops for a living. They practice farming on a small piece of ancestral land where they also reside. His father occasionally can find extra jobs to help make ends meet.
Stanley was born with Bilateral Cleft Lip and Palate, which is an opening in the roof of his mouth and his lip. Due to this, Stanley has always had difficulty eating and talking.
Fortunately, our medical partner, African Mission Healthcare, is helping Stanley receive treatment. On October 27th, surgeons will perform a procedure to heal his cleft palate so he will be able to eat and talk well. Now, Stanley’s family needs help to fund this $1,185 procedure.
Stanley father says, “My son is young and is struggling to catch up in school. He has been in and out of hospitals seeking help. I hope he gets the assistance so that he can grow into a successful young man.”
