Cristian is a three-month-old boy from Guatemala who lives in the rural highlands with his loving family of five. His father works as a construction worker, and his mother takes care of all of the family’s household needs. Cristian loves to lay in bed, laughing whenever his parents and siblings talk to him.
Currently, Cristian deals with a scrotal hernia that poses the risk of greater future complications if left untreated. Cristian’s parents say, “Our son’s situation worries us, and because of his age it scares us. But we have confidence in the organization and hope that everything goes well so that Cristian can grow without problems.”
With Watsi funding, Cristian will receive the case management, medication, and surgery needed to make a full recovery. He is scheduled to undergo his surgery on May 23, with our medical partner, Wuqu’ Kawoq. He requires $773 to fund his treatment.
