Raymond is a six-year-old boy from Kenya. He is one of the top three students in his class and one in a set of twins. Recently however, Raymond has been having a difficult time at school due to pain and discomfort caused by an accumulation of fluid in a sensitive area. If Raymond does not get treated, he will be at risk for intense pain and decreased blood supply to this area.
Fortunately, Raymond will receive treatment from our medical partner’s hospital, BethanyKids Kijabe Hospital, on May 22. The treatment will cost $423.
Once Raymond has recovered, he will no longer experience pain and be able to focus on his school work. His mother looks forward to her son’s recovery, saying, “I sincerely never thought it would require a surgery, and this has shaken me to the core. I hope all goes well.”
