Dibora was not able to undergo her treatment as she developed severe measles.

Our medical partner just shared an update on Dibora that we wanted to share with you right away. Dibora was scheduled for treatment, but prior to the surgery, she was diagnosed with severe measles and started to undergo treatment for this at another hospital. Sadly, her condition worsened with a high fever and respiratory problems and she has passed away. We are deeply saddened to hear this and our have shared our thoughts and condolences with her family. Dibora’s parents shared how are grateful they are for the support from Watsi during this hard time.

Dibora is a smiley and playful 13-month-old baby girl from Ethiopia. Her father is a farmer and her mother is a housewife. She has three older siblings and loves to eat and to play with her family.

Dibora was born with an anorectal malformation, a congenital abnormality that leads to a complete or partial intestinal blockage. Due to her condition, she developed a bowel obstruction and an emergency colostomy procedure was performed. She has had a number of complications due to this procedure, and requires an additional procedure to correct her condition.

Fortunately, our medical partner, African Mission Healthcare (AMH), is helping Dibora receive treatment. On September 8th, she will undergo corrective surgery at AMH’s care center. After her recovery, Dibora will no longer experience bowel dysfunction or be at risk of developing health complications in the future. Now, she and her family need help raising $1,500 to fund her procedure and care.

Dibora’s mother shared, “Once Dibora has recovered and is healed of this condition, I want to take care of her and her siblings well.”
