Dickson is a 33-year-old man from Kenya. He is married and has five young children. He is a farmer but is not able to work now due to his health. His wife is also a small-scale farmer growing vegetables and selling them in her neighborhood.
In September 2024, Dickson came to our medical partner’s care center, AIC Kapsowar Hospital. Dickson has end-stage renal disease. He has been treated at other hospitals but now needs further help. Dickson has been undergoing dialysis and uses a temporary catheter for access. Doctors recommend the creation of a fistula to facilitate his dialysis sessions. A fistula is a connection between a vein and an artery in the arm that enables dialysis.
Our medical partner, African Mission Healthcare, is helping Dickson and has scheduled his surgery for November 26th. He needs help to raise $1,127 to fund this procedure.
Dickson says, “I would be grateful if I would get a working fistula as I have had a longstanding problem with infection. With a successful surgery, I can have my sessions more comfortably.”
