Genesis is a calm 23-month-old baby boy. He’s the youngest of two children born to his mother. Genesis’ father left the family when he was just a few months old, and Genesis’ mother supports her children on her own. She used to earn a living working for a local safari company as a secretary, but unfortunately, due to the Coronavirus pandemic, the company shut down. She now takes cleaning jobs to support her family.
For eight months, Genesis has experienced pain due to an inguinal hernia. If not treated, the hernia may lead to intestinal tissue damage or death. Fortunately, our medical partner, African Mission Healthcare (AMH), is helping Genesis to receive treatment. On May 31th, he will undergo hernia repair surgery at AMH’s care center. Now, AMH is requesting $566 to fund Genesis’ surgery. Once completed, this procedure will hopefully allow him to live more comfortably and gow up confidently.
Genesis’ mother shared, “please help my son. I don’t think I would be able to get the money to cover his treatment with no stable income. When the swelling appears he goes through pain making him cry a lot. Please help.”
