Lalashe is a vibrant two-year-old who enjoys playing with friends. His parents earn a modest living by keeping a few cows and managing a small farm. However, they cannot cover their daily expenses and also pay for the medical care their young son needs.
Lalashe has suffered from nasal encephalocele, or swelling of the nose, since he was born. His condition is becoming more serious and making it difficult for him to breathe, especially while he’s sleeping. Lalashe’s parents are afraid that “one day we shall wake up and find that Lalashe stopped breathing at night.”
Lalashe’s doctors are suggesting a surgical reconstruction of his nasal cavity. This procedure will cost $820. They are confident that, “the reconstruction of Lalashe’s nasal cavity shall enable him to breath well and grow like any other child.” Let’s help Lalashe get the help he needs to enjoy life as a toddler!
