A family in Kenya is looking for help and support to bring a young girl, 17 year old Maureen Wanjiku Kimani to the United States for specialized plastic surgery.
Maureen got burned when she was 1 year old, she underwent plastic surgery at Kijabe Mission Hospita until she was 5 years old but later discontinued without completing all the needed procedures due to lack of money.
It has been more than 10 years of struggle to get somebody to help with the remaining procedure but with the help of concerned friends,a hospital in North Carolina has offered to do surgery for free.According to documents sent to Diaspora Messenger,the doctors in Chapel Hill North Carolina will provide free service for reconstructive surgery for 6 months but the family has to make arrangements to come to US and get somewhere to stay for that period.
Maureen,her sister Wairimu Maina and mother will need help with air ticket,accommodation and upkeep.A family in North Carolina has already offered accommodation and what is now needed is airfare.If you are able to help in anyway,kindly contact the following:
