Jonas is a 14-year-old boy from Tanzania. He is the youngest of seven siblings. He lives with his mother, who supports the family by farming and selling firewood. The family lives near our medical partner’s care center, The Plaster House.
Jonas has experienced difficulty breathing since he was young. He falls ill often. His mother has sought care from many hospitals, but she has been unable to afford treatment.
Fortunately, Jonas will undergo surgery supported by our medical partner, African Mission Healthcare Foundation, on December 8. Now, his mother needs help to fund this $488 procedure.
“I am grateful to finally find a place where my son can be cared for,” says Jonas’s mother.
