“We can’t wait for our child to start leading a normal life again, and mixing with friends his own age,” Simon’s parents say about their five-year-old son. The family lives in Malawi where Simon’s parents work as subsistence farmers.
“Simon is a shy, quiet withdrawn boy,” World Altering Medicine (WAM) writes. Right now Simon is currently experiencing pain and swelling in the groin region because of an inguinal hernia.
Doctors at WAM recommend a repair surgery for Simon which will run at $613 – a price tag too high for his family to cover.
Simon is getting ready to begin school soon - and having the surgery will relieve him of pain and swelling and make it easier to play with his friends. Let’s make it happen for him!
