23-month-old Supa is the first and only child of her parents. She was born with spina bifida, a condition causing an open mass on the spine. Recently, the mass started to leak, intensifying Supa’s risk of infection and spinal damage. Fortunately, she will undergo a spina bifida closure on January 5.
Supa’s mother is a laundress, and his father is a construction worker. The family lives in a rental house in the Nairobi suburbs. They need help to fund this $1,097 procedure. Supa’s parents are hopeful about this treatment, and they want to see her excel in the future.
“I am still nervous,” says Supa’s mother, “but I am looking forward to her treatment. I will appreciate if we get help, since Supa is very precious to us.”
