Levis is a toddler who is about to celebrate his third birthday! He lives with his mother and grandparents in Kenya, where his mother works as a casual laborer to support the family.
Levis was born with hypospadias, a condition in which the urethra is malformed and makes it impossible for him to pass urine properly. If Levis’ condition is left untreated, his doctors worry that he will be at risk for infertility and social isolation when he grows up.
Levis’ grandmother has sought medical attention for him since his birth. She tells his doctors that it breaks her heart that it has taken this long to find help, and that she is hopeful that her grandson can grow up to live a happy adult life.
For $1,200, we can pay for Levis to undergo surgery to repair his malformation and return his reproductive system to working order, allowing him to live a healthy and dignified life.
