Four-year-old Junior is the youngest child to his loving father and mother, a farm laborer and vegetable grower, respectively. Junior enjoys building houses out of mud and stones.
Our medical partner, the Kellermann Foundation (KF), shares, “Junior is a fun little boy who has been unable to play because he is suffering from a hernia and sometimes he is in a lot of pain.” A hernia occurs when soft issue protrudes through a weak part of the body such as the abdominal wall, groin, or scrotum.
$227 will allow doctors to perform a hernia repair surgery on Junior, allowing him to “return to the normal life of a little boy, growing and playing and getting ready for school,” shares KF.
Junior’s father adds: “Thank you to all the donors because without them, I would not be able to afford the surgery for my son.”
