“I am glad that I have finally found a place for my son’s treatment. I look forward to a successful surgery, and am thankful for any support towards my son’s treatment,” says the mother of Boniface, a five-month-old baby boy living in Kenya.
Boniface has spina bifida, a mass on his lower back from improper formation of the spine. Boniface is supported by his mother and grandparents, but they have been unable to raise the money necessary for his treatment. If left untreated, Boniface is likely to get an infection or develop tethered cord, which will limit the movement of his spinal cord.
With $805, our medical partner African Mission Healthcare Foundation will be able to provide Boniface with spina bifida closure surgery, which will prevent infection and development of tethered cord. Together we can make it happen!
