Hasani is a two-year-old boy from Tanzania, born on July 31, 2014. He is the only child to his mother, who is a single parent, and he is an active and happy child.
Hasani and his mother are now living at Hasani’s grandmother’s place. Hasani’s mother is employed as a shop keeper. The little that she earns is not enough to support herself and her son, so she still relies on her parents to look after her baby.
Hasani has had breathing problems ever since he was born. It was difficult for him to breastfeed, and he now has frequent fevers, constant running nose and trouble sleeping at night.
His family members all want Hasani to be well, but they cannot afford the cost of the surgery that Hasani needs. For $488, Hasani will undergo an adenoidectomy at Aursha Lutheran Medical Centre. After surgery, Hasani will be relieved of his symptoms and be able to breathe more easily.
“I just want my baby to be well because he is really suffering, especially when he sleeps at night,” shares Hasani’s mother.
