Abush is a sweet, shy boy from a very rural area of Ethiopia. He suffers from epispadias, a deformity affecting his bladder and urine flow, and as a result has never led a normal life. Abush says he is shunned by his peers and has never had any friends. He is unable to attend school because of his condition.
Abush was referred to African Mission Healthcare Foundation by his local government chief, who wrote a letter flagging his case as urgent because his family is extremely poor and cannot arrange for his medical care independently. He needed emergency care, so doctors at AMHF performed surgery on him with the knowledge that Watsi funding was coming to cover the cost.
We need to raise $1,000 to cover the cost of Abush’s surgery. This procedure will be utterly life changing for him, and he looks forward to going to school, playing sports, and having friends like a normal kid after it’s complete.
