Meet Musiime, a 13-month-old boy from Uganda who was recently diagnosed with a hernia, or an abnormal protrusion of tissue or organs.
“When Musiime was two months old, his mother noticed a swelling in his grown region,” explains our medical partner, African Mission Healthcare Foundation (AMHF). “She took him to a hospital, where he was diagnosed with a hernia and advised to have surgery.”
Musiime’s parents have tried to save enough money for their son’s surgery many times, but they have not been able to do so. Musiime has four other siblings. His father is a casual laborer and his mother is a housewife who weaves baskets in her spare time to make some extra money for their household.
$220 will cover the cost of the hernia repair operation that Musiime needs. “The treatment will eliminate the risk of intestinal incarceration, obstruction and/or strangulation,” AMHF shares.
Let’s help Musiime get healthy!
