Medical Assistance: Brian's Heart Issue

Kyle's mom and I were just talking a couple nights ago about how many serious medical needs that we have come across in our friends and students in Kibera this summer. Way more than in years past. In the past week, we have had a student in a car accident, with an unknown heart problem, potentially diagnosed with cystic fibrosis, very sick from AIDS. A mother in the hospital for a prolonged time after having a baby. A mother in Biashara's child with TB and unable to begin walking. We are feeling like we need to help but don't have much of a medical budget. I don't have any pictures or beautifully written story, but I decided there's no harm in asking for help...

First Grader Brian

Brian has been having heart problems for awhile now. His mother has taken him to a clinic several times and they have said there are issues going on but haven't been able to do more detailed tests. CAT scans and X-rays and other tests that will be able to give more clear answers are way more expensive. The cost for Brian to go get tests done on his heart are $200. Please consider donating to help Brian receive needed medical assistance. Donations can be made at www.kiberapendaproject.com. Also, please pray. Pray for Brian to be pain free and comforted. Pray for his family to have peace in God's purpose and plan. Pray for doctors to have wisdom in discovering the problem and knowledge of good treatment.
