Together, We Can Save a Little Boy’s Life

Jonathan Wadide is 4 years old and desperately needs our help.

Members of The Giving Circle’s summer team learned of Jonathan’s plight shortly after our outreach in the small village of Lwanbogo, on the other side of the vast sugar cane fields bordering our Kagoma Gate Friendship School and our new medical clinic in Mutai.

Jonathan is suffering from sickle cell, jaundice and an enlarged spleen, possibly due to malaria, a blood infection or parasites as well as sickle cell crisis. With support from The Giving Circle, Jonathan visited a pediatrician, who determined he must be admitted to a pediatric hospital, where he can receive a blood transfusion and other critical care. We are unsure of Jonathan’s prognosis or the total cost of his treatments. We are sure, however, that without medical care, Jonathan will likely die. And, we are also sure that Jonathan and other desperately poor children like him in Uganda are worth fighting for.

The Giving Circle-Uganda is raising money to support Jonathan’s care, with any leftover funds dedicated to helping other special medical cases. Please give generously, or whatever amount feels right. Together, we can help save Jonathan’s life.
