Three-year-old Nathaniel is the only child of his family, living in the Philippines. A very active child, he loves to play and run around the house. He is dearly loved by his parents and even though they can’t give much to Nathaniel, they really give an effort to provide for his basic needs.
When his mother observed that his inguinal area was enlarged, she decided to bring Nathaniel for consultation and was advised to undergo hernia surgery. However, because of financial problems, they were unable to move forward initially with surgery.
Nathaniel often cries, and is in a lot of pain. Unsure what to do, his parents have waited and are now thankful for the opportunity for Nathaniel to receive free care. His father is the one working for the family, he is a construction worker in a contractual basis and earns about $66 a month. Nathaniel’s mother is very excited and looking forward that the surgery will be successful, and the threat for her son’s health will be gone.
For $962, Nathaniel will receive the hernia repair surgery he needs.
“I really prayed for Nathaniel that somebody could help us for him to get treated,” his mother shared, “and he will not feel the pain anymore and he will not be crying too hard just because of it. I want also that he could enjoy his childhood and I will not worry anymore about his future. Thank you so much for helping us in his surgery.”
