David needs 6k for urgent surgery

Waikato

Hi loving friends, My dad has just returned from his latest stint as a missionary in the Philippines, heartbroken after hearing from his friends about their grandson's medical problems...........

This is David Jael Sta. He is 23 months old, lives in the San Pablo area in the Philippines and has some serious medical issues.

He needs an operation on his genitals (severe hyperspadia) before he is too much older. There is no free health care in the Philippines so this operation is set to cost 6000.00nz which isn't achievable at all for David's family.

As a mum of a very sick son myself, my Jakob has actually had the same procedure done, although Jakob's was only very mild, I couldn't imagine what they are going through, not being able to get their little boy the help he needs. Here in NZ we are very blessed with childrens health care as we do not have to pay for surgeries/hospital stays

I'm am trying to raise as much money for this wee boy so he can have the operation before it gets worse and starts to affect him mentally and as well as physically. Please help us to achieve this goal, any little bit counts.

Regards,

Melissa Humphrey

Melissa Humphrey's involvement (page creator)

I'm involved because my father has met the family and he has stressed that it is a serious problem and they just do not have the money to get this urgent surgery done, being a mum of a sick boy myself i can't imagine how hard it would be to watch your son go through this and not be able to get the help he needs without paying copious amounts of money.

Use of funds

Funds raised will be sent over to cover David's medical bill for surgery of his Genitals
