Social circumstances:
Caroline is a 30-year-old single mother of three children (aged 10 months, 2 and 4 years).
Without a husband, the family’s income is extremely low, particularly as Caroline is the sole breadwinner, supporting her family through low-paid casual work.
Medical details:
Shadrack was diagnosed with a malformation of the ureteral orifice immediately after birth. The mother does not know exactly what this involves:
“According to the mother,” as our local staff member Dotty reports, “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 with 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.”
Tulisa echoes this appeal: Please help little Shadrack, whose life is threatened by recurring urinary tract infections and social exclusion!
