Shinah is a two-month-old baby girl. Her mother grows food for family consumption, while her father works at a local tea factory.
Shinah has malaria, accompanied by high fevers and distress, which have been making her sick for the past month. Shinah’s mother took her to a local clinic where they were given injections and syrup, but Shinah’s health did not improve.
Shinah was brought to our medical partner, The Kellermann Foundation, for treatment. Shinah is scheduled to receive malaria treatment May 29, and the requested $120 will cover the total cost of her medication, treatment, and hospital stay.
After Shinah has recovered, her parents hope to have her baptized and, eventually, would like to send her to school.
“I want to thank the donors contributing to the care of my daughter. All our savings were spent when we were giving birth to Shinah two months ago and the little earns we had have also been spent at the local clinics where we first sought care,” says Shinah’s mother.
