On approaching the little boy, we could hear him crying out in pure agony on his bed.  He suffers from a similar condition to our Whisper child Dan; his skin entirely breaks down when severely malnourished. This little boy was covered in peeling skin, open wounds and had swollen hands, feet and right eye.  Despite this, when we spoke to him, a huge grin spread across his face. This is Derick. He is 5 years old, unable to walk or talk. Similarly to Rukia, the mother had abandoned the child years ago. Derick now lives with his father and step-mother. Living an impoverished lifestyle lead to Derick ending up in this terrible condition. Having little money, the father had been unable to purchase anything for Derick in the hospital. They had no bedsheets, blankets, spare clothes, cups, soap, nappies or anything else that they desperately needed to make Derick comfortable The father very clearly cares deeply for his son, but he is struggling to cope.   Whisper have now provided Derick with all the necessary items. Derick’s father is hoping to remain in the hospital with his son.  When Derick is eventually discharged, he too will be joining us at our home in Mutai. The father fears he will not able to provide for his son and that he will inevitably end up in the same condition. Therefore he has decided Whisper is the best chance for Derick and he will come to visit his son regularly. We are so happy to be able to help this family and this poor little boy. We hope that he is soon out of pain and we are beyond excited to see this delightful little boy recover and grow.
