Ampaire is an 18-month-old boy and the oldest child of his single mother. Six months ago, he developed a painful swelling in his left groin region. He was taken to a hospital, where he was diagnosed with a left inguinal scrotal hernia. His doctors recommended surgery, but his mother could not afford treatment.
Without treatment, hernias can lead to continued pain, infertility, organ strangulation, and other complications. Fortunately, Ampaire and his mother visited our medical partner’s care center, Holy Family Virika Hospital. On December 7, he is scheduled to undergo a repair surgery, during which doctors will move Ampaire’s organs back inside the intestinal wall, relieving his symptoms. For $249, we can fund this procedure.
“I am stressed and worried because my baby is sick, and I don’t have money to pay for his treatment.” says his mother. Let’s help her and Ampaire!
