help an innocent boy whose parents cannot afford to save his life.
Taranaki
Kudakwashe is a five year old boy. He lives in Zimbabwe. His Dad is a Game Warden (who has not been paid for three months). He has a tumour that has caused hydrocephalus (water on the brain) causing terrible pain and intractable vomiting.
A simple shunt procedure will prolong his life likely by years (the reports have been reviewed by NZ based neurosurgeons). It will cost about 4500 USD all in. His Dad is on whattsapp/email to confirm this Emmanuel Tekesi <etekesi@zimparks.org.zw> +263773215425.
Monies will be sent to Zimbabwe using Worldremit, donors will receive copies of transfers. Funds will be placed into a TSB savings account in New Plymouth

Kudakwashe is a five year old boy. He lives in Zimbabwe and has hydrocephalus (water on the brain) due to a brain tumour. The hydrocephalus will likely kill him within a month or two. A shunt will prolong his life a lot.
