“Chisomo is my last born son. I love him so much that I would be the happiest mother in the world if his condition could be treated,” says Chisomo’s mother. Chisomo is a very happy one-year-old boy from Malawi who likes to laugh with his brothers.
Chisomo was born with hydrocephalus, an increase in the amount of fluid around the brain. This has resulted in a large head and delayed development milestones for Chisomo, who has yet to start crawling. If left untreated, this condition can lead to brain damage, a loss in mental and physical abilities, and even death.
Watsi donors, $990 will fund surgery to drain the excess fluid from around Chisomo’s brain. “The pressure in the head will normalize and his head will return to normal size. This treatment will enable him to develop normally and participate in all the activities boys at his age enjoy,” reports our medical partner, World Altering Medicine.
Let’s help young Chisomo grow up to play with his big brothers!
