Do you remember little Gabriel? Gabriel is the second child of 23-year-old Purity. She lives as a single mother with her two children in the Mathare slum in Nairobi. She and her children survive on the income from odd jobs.
When Gabriel was four months old, a small swelling was first noticed on the right side of his neck, which then grew larger over time. He was taken to Kenyatta Hospital from time to time, but his mother could not afford regular check-ups.
In the ENT department, he was diagnosed with an extensive cystic hygroma (a fluid-filled cyst) on the carotid artery. Finally, in September this year, the young patient underwent successful surgery at the Agha Khan Hospital in Nairobi.
This hygroma had grown to a considerable size. Thanks to your donations, the necessary diagnostic tests could be carried out.
His mother is overjoyed to see her son playing normally again and thanks you all from the bottom of her heart, saying, “May God bless you”, in her own words.
