This is four and half year old Morgan.
His father approached us during one of our outreach sessions in Bugiri district and asked for help.
Morgan has a serious infection on his left arm, which was not treated over two years.
When we tried to perform first aid to clean the wounds on his skin, it appeared very hard to touch, and the puss started to leak out. It seems the infection is deep down affecting Morgan's bones.
The family explained that they can't afford to take him to the hospital because of their financial situation.
Whisper provided transport to Morgan and his father to the The Jinja children hospital where Morgan was admitted the same day.
Medical stuff run some tests on the boy and they have decided to perform a surgery, because that is the only way to save his arm.

The bone is infected, and because of that the whole forearm is swollen and full of puss.
We are helping Morgan and his father with all the medical expenses, including the surgery itself, providing them with food and all the supplies they might need while at the hospital.
We hope that the surgery will be successful and Morgan will be able to continue living a life like a four year old child should.
