Urgent Medical Help Needed for Abdourahman in The Gambia – Severe Jaw Infection, No Access to Treatment

Abdourahman Ngum is a young man in The Gambia suffering from a serious, painful jaw infection. What began as a swelling has worsened into an open wound. The infection is now deep in the bone and spreading. I’ve known Abdourahman for a year. He’s unemployed, unmarried, and the only support for his mother and younger sisters. He survives on odd jobs, and like many in The Gambia, he has no access to proper healthcare without upfront payment.

I’ve already sent $700 for the initial treatment of the infection. That helped for a time, but the infection has returned with force and deep within his jaw. Doctors refuse to treat him further unless he can pay another $800. Without urgent care, the infection could become life-threatening.

This fundraiser will cover his medical costs and recovery support. Every dollar helps. If you can contribute, even a little, it’ll go a long way.
