“I hope the donors assist me to have this surgery,” shares Yibekal, a 12-year-old boy from Ethiopia. Yibekal enjoys listening to music when not in school.
Yibekal was born with an anorectal malformation, making it challenging for him to go to the bathroom normally. “Yibekal uses a colostomy to pass stool which leaves him susceptible to infections,” says our medical partner, African Mission Healthcare Foundation. “If the surgery is not done, Yibekal could suffer distension and obstruction of the intestines.”
$1,500 covers the cost of the treatment and allows Yibekal to return to school with his friends. Together we can give Yibekal access to the care he needs so he can live a normal happy and healthy life!
