“Gloria’s condition is causing her a lot of discomfort and stigma in our village. I pray that she will find treatment as soon as possible,” Gloria’s aunt tells us.
Gloria is a two-year-old from Kenya. She has been diagnosed with anorectal malformation, meaning that she is unable to pass stool normally. According to our medical partner, the African Mission Healthcare Foundation, “Gloria has frequent constipation coupled with discomfort, due to abdominal distention.”
Gloria’s mother died last year and her father cannot afford the 3-stage surgery necessary to fix Gloria’s condition. If left untreated, she is at risk for infection and possible perforation of the bowel.
For $1,500, we can provide the support that Gloria needs. Let’s work together and allow Gloria to grow up normally and go through life with confidence!
