Musinguzi is an 11-month-old baby whose single mother teaches nursery school.
Since birth, Musinguzi has had a swelling in his right groin region. One month ago, he was taken to a hospital, where he was diagnosed with a right inguinal hernia. His mother could not afford to pay for a repair surgery. Fortunately, a friend advised her to bring Musinguzi to our medical partner’s hospital, Holy Family Virika Hospital.
Musinguzi’s hernia causes him pain and makes it difficult for him to breastfeed. Without treatment, he is at risk of further complications. Fortunately, he will undergo a repair surgery on December 7. For $249, we can fund this surgery.
Musinguzi’s mother says, “Stepping into this office has given me hope my baby will be well.”
