Joshua was born only six days ago with a growing mass on his back and requires treatment soon. Without care, our medical partner African Mission Healthcare Foundation reports, “he will likely develop an infection which may result in the abnormal development of his spinal cord.”
Joshua’s parents are already struggling to support their family as farmers. His mother explains how, “the last six days have been very difficult for us as a family, and all we are seeking is for Joshua to get treatment. We don’t have the resources necessary to pay for his bill, but we hope and trust that we’ll get the help we need.”
For $930, Joshua will receive a spina bifida closure surgery, which will reduce his chances of infection and help his spinal cord develop normally. Let’s give Joshua the chance to have the happy, healthy childhood his parents are working so hard to provide!
