Purity is a seven-month-old girl from Kenya. She was the last born child in a family of five children. Her father is a casual laborer, and her mother is a housewife. Purity’s family owns a small piece of land where they do small scale farming for the family’s needs.
Purity lives with hydrocephalus, a lethal condition which causes her head to become enlarged and increases the pressure within her skull. Purity’s mother says, “I was shocked to see my child’s head size grow day by day. I pray that she will be treated soon, and I request for help.”
To relieve the pressure and save her life, Purity needs a shunt incision. If the surgery is not done, Purity is likely to suffer brain damage due to the increased intra-cranial pressure.
For $980, we fund this procedure which will relieve the pressure in her head. Let’s help Purity live a normal childhood without the pain she’s experiencing now!
