Meet Fanny, a 10-year-old girl from Kenya! The second born in a family of three children, Fanny lives with her siblings and hardworking parents. Her father is a small businessman, her mother is a housewife, and her family keeps a small-scale farm, which they inherited from Fanny’s grandparents.
Fanny has hydrocephalus, which is an excessive accumulation of fluid in the brain. This condition causes massive head size and severe headaches. Without surgery, Fanny is likely to suffer brain damage due to the increased intra cranial pressure.
For $980, we can fund a shunt incision for Fanny! This surgery will relieve some of the pressure on Fanny’s brain and she will be able to live a normal and healthy life. “My daughter is in a lot of pain because of her condition and I feel it for her. My hope and prayer is for her to get treatment so that she can go home. I trust that we’ll get help for her surgical care,” says Fanny’s mother. Let’s help Fanny!
