This is Emmanuel, a newborn baby from Kenya. Emmanuel is the youngest in a family of three children. His mother works in a salon in a city, and his father is a casual laborer.
Emmanuel’s hydrocephalus is causing pressure to build up in his brain, and his parents are unable to raise funds for surgery. If Emmanuel does not receive the shunt incision surgery to drain water from his brain, he will likely go blind, have delayed milestones, or possibly die from the increasing intra cranial pressure.
Emmanuel’s mother says, “All I look forward to is seeing my little boy get treatment. I can’t afford it, but I hope and pray that my son’s treatment will happen, and I hope and trust for support.” If Emmanuel undergoes surgery, he will go on to live a healthy and normal life. For $980, we can make sure this happens!
