Nay Toe is a seven-year-old boy from Burma. He was recently diagnosed with hydrocephalus, which has caused fluid to build up in his brain. Without immediate surgery to alleviate the intracranial pressure that the excess fluid is causing, he is at risk of developing severe, potentially fatal medical complications.
Our medical partner, Burma Children Medical Fund, is requesting $1,500 to fund the insertion of a ventriculoperitoneal shunt for Nay Toe, which will drain the fluid that has accumulated in his brain. The procedure is scheduled to take place on June 21, and, once completed, will greatly improve Nay Toe’s quality of life.
Nay Toe said, “One day, I will be able to write, and I can become a teacher.”

“In Burma, I cannot afford to pay for my son’s surgery. I am very happy and would like to thank the donors who helped my son in receiving treatment. I want to send my son to school and I want to see him playing with his friends again. I want him to become an educated man one day,” said Nay Toe’s mother. “I want to go to school and I like to play with friends,” said Nay Toe. “
