When you approach his crib, he immediately smiles. He likes being spoken to. He’s just as aware as any 8-month-old child. Yet, his 2-kg body limits him significantly. He lacks the strength to start lifting himself up like his peers.
Each day is a battle to help Gift gain even a few more decagrams. Unfortunately, this is no small feat. The boy recently suffered another setback, requiring hospitalization once again as his heart raised concerns. Thankfully, he could return HOME after a few days.
Feeding Gift poses a considerable challenge due to his cleft lip and palate. While hospitalized, he received IV fluids, but even that didn’t help much. We are striving for him to reach 6 kg, as only then can he have his first surgery.
Gift has a chance to lead a normal life. The surgery, planned in several stages, aims to fix all his health problems. We hold on to the belief that this unfair battle will soon be just a bad memory.
We ask you to visit our pantry and remember the milk and porridge for Gift. Send him your warmest thoughts as well. Let a wave of love embrace him, giving him the strength to fight. Thanks to your support, the boy has a chance to reach the necessary weight and qualify for surgery. Together, we know we can do it! ♥️
A school kit includes notebooks, allowing children to study at home. It also includes a pair of shoes, which, if not for Kasisi, they would have to borrow from their siblings. And finally, a delicious, healthy sandwich in the backpack, which gives them the energy they need for their studies. Just like the sandwich their mother would prepare. You can pack one into their backpack today—from right here, from your own home.
