Meet Gracius, a 22-year-old man living in Kenya. He is currently studying to become a veterinarian and was considered such a promising student that he received a loan through the government to fund his education. His parents live in western Kenya and work as subsistence farmers.
Gracius is suffering from an ectopic kidney, a defect in which a kidney is abnormally located (not in its usual position). This causes him a lot of pain and difficulty passing urine properly. His pain and likelihood of infection will increase if he doesn’t receive treatment soon.
“I want to get well so that I can complete my studies in Animal Production and Health so that [I can] become a Veterinary doctor and take care of my aging parents,” says Gracius.
For $1,350, we can help Gracius receive a pyeloplasty. This treatment will help him live a healthy life and pursue his goals!
