Jayden is a 15-month-old baby - full of smiles and jovial. However, it’s difficult for him to pass urine, which was diagnosed at birth. He is the only son and his mother is a single parent who is still in school pursuing a hairdressing course. They both live at his grandmother’s home in Western Kenya. Jayden’s grandmother works as a laborer getting work when she can.
Jayden was born with hypospadias, a birth condition that causes urinary dysfunction. Without treatment, he will continue to experience uncomfortable symptoms and will be at risk of cancer and infertility.
Fortunately, Jayden is scheduled to undergo corrective surgery on January 12th. Our medical partner, African Mission Healthcare Foundation, is requesting $847 to cover the total cost of his procedure and care.
Jayden’s mother says, “My child deserves to grow as a normal kid. The good thing is that this condition can be rectified and he can heal.”
