This baby, Naw, was just diagnosed with hydrocephalus. Hydrocephalus results from an excessive accumulation of cerebral spinal fluid on the brain, and causes developmentally delaying and life-threatening pressure on the brain.
Naw’s family is unable to cover the cost of the surgery their baby needs to survive. Naw’s mother and grandmother say they are stressed about Naw’s health and worried about the cost of her treatment. They are particularly concerned about the financial challenges the family may face in the future trying to pay for her medical bills.
For $1,500, we can help Naw receive a cerebral shunt, which will drain cerebrospinal fluid from her head. This is a life-saving opportunity for Naw and will relieve the enormous financial burden that her family will face.
