Eric is an eleven-year-old boy who lives with his family in a one-room house in Kenya. Eric’s father is a sales administrator while his mother promotes company products.
Eric dreams of being a world class neurosurgeon and has taken a keen interest in his science classes in order to fulfill his ambitions. At the end of every term, Eric ranks the top of his class. An anatomy lesson in school caused Eric to realize he was missing his right testis. After telling his father, he was taken Eric to a doctor. The doctor confirmed that Eric had an undescended testis, a congenital condition, and required surgery to relocate it.
Having paid school fees for their three children, Eric’s parents are not able to raise more than $52 for his surgical care. Let’s help them raise the remaining $535 for the surgery Eric needs!
Brave Eric is unfazed at the thought of going under the knife, and he looks forward to the day he can change lives too as a neurosurgeon. “I am hoping to change lives of many in future as a surgeon,” says Eric.
“I wish to give Eric the opportunity to get treated and to be able to follow his dreams and ambitions in life, but I feel helpless that I cannot give this to him myself,” says Eric’s father.
