Children in the Philippines who live in extreme poverty lack access to quality healthcare. They are often denied assistance and are unable to afford necessities to improve their quality of life.
Francine is a one-year-old girl from the Philippines. She was born with Hirschsprung's disease (Hirschsprung's disease involves missing nerve cells in the muscles of part or all of the large intestine). She has endured two surgeries already.
Her father lost his job due to the pandemic. He now sells mineral water by a busy road to earn money for his family.
Francine needs one final surgery - a colostomy reversal. Their meager income is not enough to pay for this surgery, so they are asking for help.
Can you help little Francine get the final surgery she needs and improve her quality of life?
