Six-year-old Raijie has lived with a hernia for five years now. Apart from the condition, Raijie is a happy and active boy from the Philippines. He loves to play basketball with his brother and cousins. Even in his young age he is very responsible – he looks after his grandfather when his parents are away from home.
Raijie’s father is the one earner for the family. He works as a painter, but on a contractual basis, and only earns $60/month which is barely enough to meet the needs of the family.
Raijie was brought in for consultation and underwent a series of tests, after which he was diagnosed with a hernia and was advised to have surgery. His family, however, is unable to afford the $465 cost.
'’I am thankful that you have reached our community, because if not, we can’t access heath care nor consultation for Raijie and the possible operation,” explains his mother. “But because of you, we have the hope that Raijie will be healed from his condition. I really look forward that Raijie will live normally just like other kids his age.”

Raijie received successful hernia repair surgery.
Despite some unexpected treatment delays, Raijie is recovering well after surgery. “It was a great joy for the family,” his medical team shared. “Now that Raijie is already healed, he can play and run around without pain and possible complications. His parents are also overwhelmed for this great blessing to their family.”
Soon, Raijie will be able to start school, which he could not have done with the pain he previously experienced.
“A miracle just happened to us, I don’t know where it came from but it does not happen to a lot of people,” Raijie’s mother shared. “I was really thankful that there are people who are kindhearted and full of love for those who are in need, who really did not hesitate to help us in this battle. It is really amazing how things became easy for us. Thank you so much for your help. My words cannot really express how grateful I am. Thank you so much for everything.”
