Firouz Nkusi was born on 10th May 2012 at Muhima hospital with a very serious and unusual health problem,that has affected his life, as a normal child.
Since his birth, the one year old baby has battled with two chronic diseases – Hydrocephalus and Spina bifida- which have resulted to daily swelling of the head, making his life very complicated despite the many times his family has sought medical attention.
Parents say, (Sheikh Nkusi Abdallahmani), the young boy has not known a normal life,they have spent time and money running around hospitals for a solution. He was transferred to Gikongo hospital where he was handled by a medical expert on such diseases, but there was only a temporary change in his condition, and it later got worse.
At this point, the middle class Muslim family, living in the outskirts of Kigali (Nyamirambo) has spent over 2million Rwandan francs to conduct the four surgeries but there has not been any progress on the health of the infant.
“We have done everything possible to give our son a healthy life but we reached an extent of exhausting every resource. After consultation with friends and family, we have decided to come out and ask the Rwandan community to help our child,” says Sheikh Nkusi Abdallahmani
According to medical experts, little Nkusi can only be saved from an operation in India. The whole process will take an estimated sum of Rwf16 millions, minus the air tickets and other basic needs while hospitalized.
Spina bifida (Latin: “split spine”) is a developmental congenital disorder caused by the incomplete closing of the embryonic neural tube; while Hydrocephalus means “water on the brain.”-that creates a buildup of fluids inside the skull that leads to brain swelling.
The life of the infant is one that can make your heart feel compassion at a glance. His daily life is so different and difficult from other kids, he can’t play. He doesn’t eat all the time- but can afford artificial milk since he dropped off the mother’s breast at two months.
He cries once in a very long time and cannot afford to smile- because of the pains on his head nerves which is also filled with fluids that one can feel on a mere touch.
Like they say, one by one, makes a bundle, even a mere 1000 franc donation could make a change in this little boy’s life; He deserves to live; please contact the following phone number 0788356088 {Father’s number} or donate directly on Bank of Kigali account 00086049545516.
