As you may recall, Tressy lives on the outskirts of the notorious Kibera slum in southern Nairobi with her four-month-old sister and her mother, who contributes to the family income by doing odd jobs as a cleaner.
Tressy’s mother came to Nairobi from Kisumu on Lake Victoria in 2002, full of hope that she could improve her living conditions after being forced to drop out of primary school following the early death of both her parents from AIDS. But – as is so often the case in Kibera – her plans came to nothing.
Tressy’s mother told us that her daughter is no longer sleeping well at night. She snores, wakes up frequently and is no longer as lively and active during the day as she used to be. A medical examination revealed that the little girl has nasal polyps. Certainly not a “big deal” – if only we had the €200 needed for the operation to remove the polyps.
Thanks to your donation, Tulisa was able to fund the necessary operation and Tressy has been in excellent health ever since!
