Godson is a young boy from Uganda who lives with his grandmother and attends class two in school. His mother joined the army recently and is still in training. His grandmother provides for him through farming but their income is not enough to meet all the daily needs and medical needs.
Since a year ago, Godson has had a hydrocele, which is a swelling in a sensitive area. The hydrocele causes him pain and he finds it difficult to walk around. He was brought to Nyakibale Hospital and had surgery recommended to fully heal his condition.
Fortunately, on November 2nd, he will undergo hydrocele repair surgery at our medical partner’s care center. Our medical partner, African Mission Healthcare Foundation, is requesting $146 to fund Godson’s surgery as the cost of the surgery is too high for his family to afford. Once completed, this procedure will hopefully allow him to live more comfortably and grow confidently.
Godson’s guardian says “I hope that my boy will get well after surgery and grow well in good health after surgery.”
