Princess is a seven-month-old baby girl and the youngest of five children to her mother, Edisa. Princess is known for her giggly disposition. Her siblings love playing with Princess and making her laugh.
Princess has a severe case of pneumonia and has been experiencing a fever and difficulty breathing. If left untreated, pediatric pneumonia can become life-threatening.
To feed her family, Edisa rents a small piece of land to grow maize, cassava, potatoes, beans, and other vegetables. Recently, Edisa hasn’t had enough money to rent land or plant new crops. As a result, the family is surviving on last year’s harvest. None of the children attend school, since Edisa can’t afford school fees. Money for hospital bills is beyond her reach.
On May 10, Princess will begin treatment for her pneumonia, which will include a five-night hospital stay, blood tests, and medication. The Kellermann Foundation is requesting $106 to fund her care.
Edisa wants the best for Princess. She is grateful for Watsi’s support with her daughter’s recovery.
“I clap in joy for the help I am receiving,” she says. “Please give all my thanks to the donors.”
