Nancy is a six-day-old infant from Kenya. She was born on May 5 and is the last-born in a family of three children.
At birth, Nancy was diagnosed with spina bifida - a condition where there is an incomplete formation of the spine. Nancy’s family was referred to our medical partner, African Mission Healthcare Foundation, for specialized treatment. If not treated, Nancy is at risk of developing tethered cord syndrome, acquiring an infection, and the potential paralysis of her lower limbs.
On May 12, Nancy will undergo spinal cord surgery to correct her spina bifida. Her family is requesting $1,097 to fund the total cost of her procedure.
“I bless God for using Watsi to help Nancy live a quality life,” says Nancy’s mother.
