Dalton is a three-year-old boy who loves going outside to play and run around with his friends. He is the second born in his family. His father is a soldier, while his mother is a small-scale farmer. Together, they live in a two-room mud-built house.
For the past year, Dalton has had hydrocele in a sensitive area. The hydrocele is swollen from fluid build-up and causes Dalton a great deal of discomfort. His parents are worried that without the right treatment their son might not be able to lead a full life. Due to financial instability, they are not able to raise the funds needed for Dalton’s treatment, and appeal for help.
Fortunately, on February 22nd, Dalton will undergo hydrocele repair surgery at our medical partner’s care center, Rushoroza Hospital. Our medical partner, African Mission Healthcare, is requesting $170 to fund Dalton’s surgery. Once completed, this procedure will allow him to live more comfortably and confidently.
Dalton father says, “My son is no longer able to play with his friends like he used to before. My wife and I currently are not in position to fund his surgery and we seek financial support. We hope that he will be able to start school comfortably after treatment.”
