Samson is a young boy from Kenya. He is the fourth of five children.
Samson was born with an anorectal malformation, a congenital abnormality that leads to a complete or partial intestinal blockage. He needs to undergo a series of procedures to eliminate bowel dysfunction.
Samson is scheduled to undergo surgery to correct his condition on February 15. Our medical partner, African Mission Healthcare Foundation, is requesting $1,327 to cover the total cost of Samson’s procedure and care.
After his recovery, Samson will no longer experience bowel dysfunction or be at risk of developing health complications in the future.
“People are friendly here and I have faith Samson will get help,” says Samson’s father.

Samson underwent corrective surgery.
Samson underwent successful PASRP treatment early last year. As part of the normal course of treatment, he left for home to undergo anal dilations and ensure that scar tissue does not form on the surgical site. He missed some of his follow-up clinic appointments and was admitted to the hospital in October 2019 with severe malnutrition. Once he was discharged, his family did not turn up for their follow-up clinics. During follow up by phone, our medical partner sadly learned that Samson recently passed away after suffering severe diarrhea. Our hearts go out to Samson’s family during this difficult time.
