Jonilene is a happy and active three-year-old girl from the Philippines who loves to play and run around her house. Jonilene’s father makes a living for the family as a fisherman.
Our medical partner, International Care Ministries (ICM), shares, “Jonilene had undergone surgery of a pelvic mass to correct her altered urination pattern. After the surgery, she had a better urination pattern, however she has recurrent fever due to a urinary tract infection.” She is increasingly more irritable and restless.
Jonilene must undergo a procedure called bilateral ureteroneocystostomy to relieve the obstruction to her kidneys that is causing the chronic infection.
$1,500 will fund the surgery to treat Jonilene’s inflamed kidneys “by way of repairing the damaged ureters,” shares ICM. This surgery will eliminate her persistent urinary tract infections.
“We would love to see our child become playful and active again,” shares Jonilene’s family. “We want to see her grow, go to school, and fulfill her dreams in life. I hope you could help us in making this possible for our daughter.”

Jonilene received successful treatment for her urinary tract infections.
Jonilene’s surgery was a success! Doctors at International Care Ministries (ICM) were able to remove an obstruction in her kidneys that caused urine to flow backwards into her kidneys. “As the surgery has been done, she was observed to have increased urine output, less frequent complaints upon urination, noted to be more active and alert with a brighter face,” shares ICM. “She was observed to be in her happiest mode ever.”
