Caleb is a baby from Kenya. He lives with his elder sister and parents in the outskirts of Nairobi. His mother is a stay-at-home mom while his father is employed casually as a machine technician in an office near their home.
Since birth, Caleb has had a hernia. If not treated, the hernia could result in intestinal tissue death or damage. Fortunately, on February 6th, Caleb will undergo repair surgery at our medical partner’s care center.
Our medical partner, African Mission Healthcare Foundation, is requesting $423 to fund Caleb’s surgery. Once completed, this procedure will hopefully allow him to live more comfortably.
“It will take me years to raise the amount needed. Please help us,” says Caleb’s father.

Caleb did not undergo hernia repair.
We’ve received an update from our medical partner on Caleb’s treatment that we want to share with you. When he arrived to the hospital for treatment last year, he had a rash so doctors prescribed drugs and once cleared, he was rescheduled for surgery. Unfortunately, his surgery was planned for after Covid-19 arrived, causing difficulty moving within the country. Caleb’s family had relocated to upcountry (Eastern Kenya) were not able to travel. After the lockdown was lifted and more movement across the country was possible, the medical team rescheduled his surgery a few times but he has not shown up. His family is not sure when they will be able to return so our medical partner has asked that we postpone his case and provide support to another patient in need at this time. We hope Caleb will return soon and we can help fund his needed surgery.
