Musiime is a bright, quiet 4-year-old from Uganda. He is at the top of his class in primary school class two and plans to become a doctor to help others. He is the youngest in his family of four children, with his other brothers in primary and secondary school. Musiime’s father works as a private school teacher, and his mother practices farming, growing crops for their family’s consumption. He loves playing football but is currently unable to play due to a medical condition.
Musiime has been experiencing swelling on the back of his left knee for the past nine months. The mass has grown in size, so his family brought him to our medical partner’s care center for treatment. Fortunately, on November 29th, surgeons will remove the mass. Our medical partner, African Mission Healthcare (AMH), is requesting $188 to fund this procedure.
Musiime’s mother says “It will be my joy seeing my son in good health because he has really cried in pain for a long.”
