Baby Ethan was born at the Aga Khan University Hospital on 2nd October 2015 and diagnosed with chronic liver disease resultant to liver failure. He has been in and out of various hospitals within Nairobi and he is in urgent need of liver surgery, which is the treatment for this condition and it is not offered in Kenya for infants.
When Baby Ethan was diagnosed with chronic liver disease, we were informed by the medical personnel’s that the condition is life threatening and time is of essence since he needs an urgent surgery that can only be carried out in India. Without Kshs. 7 million, no arrangement can be made to take Baby Ethan to India from Kenya.
We have embarked on getting that Kshs. 7 million, a task that has proved to be very difficult by the day since we have exhausted all we had as a family for the last 7 months for the same purpose. On realizing the daunting task ahead we have decided to sub-divide the project into three major phases namely; Departure to India, Surgery at Global Hospital in India and Post treatment in Kenya.
Phase one involves getting the necessary travel documents for Baby Ethan, the mother Yvonne (liver donor) and the dad Ken; and the clearance of the hospital bills at the hospitals he was admitted, and this phase was successfully completed. We are now appealing to the well-wishers to help us from phase two as we are in urgent need to raise the money to facilitate his travel and surgery.
We trust God that through your support, the story of Baby Ethan will move from being a sad one to an inspiring one. Any support, prayers and advice will be highly appreciated. Contributions can be done via mpesa pay bill business number 734613, account number add your name.
