When Peterson was three months old, he began showing symptoms of hydrocephalus. He has excess fluid in his brain, which makes his head swollen and places excess pressure on his nerves and the blood vessels in his brain. Peterson now has seizures that keep him from easily moving his hands.
This six-month-old little boy hails from the countryside of Haiti. His mother looks after him and his siblings while also attending school. She cannot afford the $1,260 procedure that could save her son’s life.
With our support, Peterson will receive surgery to drain the excess fluid from his brain. His seizures will occur less frequently, or stop altogether. Doctors expect that his head and face will return to a normal state. Let’s help Peterson live a healthier life!
