Sapphire is five years old and a kindergarten student from the Philippines. Her father is a construction worker. Sapphire is very playful, especially now that she has started school and made new friends.
About a year ago, her parents noticed a small bump on the sole of her left foot. At first, they thought it would go away after a few days. However, as months passed, the bump slowly grew bigger. Sapphire’s mother shared that she and her husband became more worried as they saw the lump increase in size.
In January of this year, their fear grew when they saw discharge coming from Sapphire’s foot. They immediately brought her to a doctor, who advised that the mass be removed as soon as possible.
Fortunately, our medical partner, World Surgical Foundation Philippines, can help. On January 28th, Sapphire will undergo surgery to remove the mass. This procedure should address her symptoms and allow her to live more comfortably. She needs help to raise $1,063 to fund her treatment.
Sapphire’s mother shared, “My husband and I will feel happy and relieved once Sapphire can get treated and walk normally. We no longer have to think about how we can afford to get her the help that she needs.”
