Miftah is a playful eight-year-old boy from Ethiopia. He enjoys playing football, spending time with his younger brother, and watching television and cartoons. He is currently in Grade Two. Miftah's father is a daily laborer, while his mother works as a cleaner. Since birth, Miftah has had an inguinal hernia. This condition occurs when tissue or part of the intestine pushes through a weak area in the groin muscles, causing a swelling or bulge. His mother first noticed the swelling while he was playing. The swelling would appear and then disappear on its own. Later, when Miftah became unwell and complained of stomach pain, his mother took him to the hospital. During the examination, the doctor noticed the swelling and requested an ultrasound scan. Miftah was referred to our medical partner's care center, BethanyKids Myungsung Christian Medical Centre (BKMCM). Fortunately, on September 25th, he will undergo hernia repair surgery. Our medical partner, African Mission Healthcare, is requesting $512 to fund Miftah's surgery. Once completed, this procedure will hopefully allow him to live more comfortably and confidently. Miftah's mother shared, “The staff welcomed us warmly and clearly explained everything about my son’s condition and treatment. I am very grateful for their support. It was a great relief to learn that he could receive the surgery. Thank you to everyone who is helping children like Miftah. I pray that Miftah will be blessed with good health and many more happy years. May God bless you all for the care and support you have given him.”
