Roy is a three-year-old boy from Kenya. He lives with his mother in the suburbs of Nairobi. His mother runs a retail shop to support their family.
A few weeks ago, Roy’s mother noticed intermittent swelling in a sensitive area. She took him to a local hospital, where he was diagnosed with a hydrocele, a buildup of fluid that causes the groin to swell. For treatment, Roy was referred to our medical partner’s care center, BethanyKids Kijabe Hospital (BKKH).
On March 1, Roy will undergo surgery to repair the hydrocele. Our medical partner, African Mission Healthcare Foundation, is asking for $423 to cover the cost of his surgery and accompanying supplies and medications.
“Roy’s smile drives us to focus more on his wellbeing,” says Roy’s mother. “We appreciate any help we get for his treatment.”
