Innocent is a child from Tanzania. He is the first in a family of two children. He will be joining preschool this month.
For two years, Innocent has been experiencing difficulty breathing and swallowing. He was recently diagnosed with enlarged tonsils, which, if not treated, will cause his symptoms to persist and possibly intensify over time.
Our medical partner, African Mission Healthcare Foundation, is requesting $633 to fund a tonsillectomy for Innocent, which is scheduled to take place on January 17. Surgeons will remove his tonsils, hopefully relieving Innocent of his symptoms and helping him live more comfortably.
Innocent’s mother says, “Please help our son, he has been having difficulty breathing for a long time and it’s because we didn’t know it was treatable.”
