| Name | Shadrack Ereti Kaka |
| Year of birth | 2014 |
| Residence | Nairobi |
| Country | Kenya |
Social circumstances:
Caroline, Shadrack’s mother, is a 30-year-old single mother of three children (aged 3, 5 and 7).
Without a husband, the family’s income is extremely low, particularly as Caroline is the sole breadwinner, supporting herself and her family through poorly paid odd jobs.
Medical details:
Shadrack was diagnosed with a malformation of the ureteral orifice immediately after birth. His mother does not know exactly what this involves:
“According to the mother,” as our colleague Dotty reported on site two years ago, “she does not know what happened, but she was discharged home and advised to continue daily cleaning and dressing the wound until she can raise money for the baby’s surgery.
Since then, she has struggled under the burden of looking after the children and has decided to take on casual jobs to feed them; whilst she is away, she leaves the baby in the care of her other two children, aged 4 and 2 respectively.
She has no hope of ever being able to raise money for the boy’s treatment and can only wait for fate to take its course.
I pray she finds help for her son.”
Unfortunately, the surgeons in Nairobi have not yet been able to bring themselves to perform this complex operation.
Given the terrible life that little Shadrack faces as he grows older – having to wear nappies and facing the risk of recurring urinary tract infections – Tulisa now wants to make a fresh attempt, and this costs money…
Please help little Shadrack, who is at risk of being denied a life worth living.
