Evan is one of three children living with his family in the Kibera slum in Nairobi. His mother died when he was born, so his father, who works as a humble charcoal seller, now has to look after the family on his own. With the equivalent of €60 a month, they often only eat once a day… A good education is out of the question.
Nevertheless, his daily life might still have been bearable had Evan not had a tragic problem: for the past two years, his chest had been growing (a condition known as gynaecomastia). As a result, he was subjected to ridicule and rumours from his schoolmates and neighbours. He could no longer hide his breasts and, after leaving school because of his condition, lived with his father—feeling inhibited, depressed and frustrated… whilst his father was at a loss as to what to do.
Evan has now had surgery and the excess breast tissue has been removed.
But read for yourselves what Dotty, our nurse in Nairobi, has to say:
Hi everyone! I hope this finds you well.
I’d like to share some good news with you about Evan’s operation, which was successfully carried out at the Aga Khan Hospital on Wednesday 10th 2015. He was wheeled into the operating theatre at 9 pm and the operation was performed by Dr Boca.
He is recovering well in the children’s ward and so far no complications have been noted.
He is so happy and sends his regards to his sponsors!
Thank you very much for your support; the smiles restored to these patients’ faces are not in vain.
May God bless you abundantly.Please find attached some photos of the same.
Yours always,
Dottie
