Our medical partner just shared an update that Sumeya’s treatment proceeded successfully and she recovered well! For the final stage of her care, her colostomy was closed and she is now making stool in a normal way. This will help her lead a quality life and has brought great relief to her family.

Her mom said “I am happy for this operation and I hope her wound will dry quickly. I hope she will lead a quality life equally with her friends in the future. I am so thankful for all who helped me.’’

Sumeya is a baby girl from Ethiopia who loves music. She also loves sweets and playing with her mom. She is her parents’ first child, and her mom is a housewife while her dad is a teacher in a mosque. They all live together in his parents’ house, who help support them with their basic needs.

Sumeya was born with an anorectal malformation, a congenital abnormality that leads to a complete or partial intestinal blockage. She needs to undergo a series of procedures to eliminate bowel dysfunction.

Sumeya is scheduled to undergo surgery to correct her condition on April 20th. Our medical partner, African Mission Healthcare Foundation, is requesting $1,500 to cover the total cost of Sumeya’s procedure and care.

After her recovery, Sumeya will no longer experience bowel dysfunction or be at risk of developing serious health complications in the future.

Her mom said “ It is my hope that my baby will heal and get in to school.”
