He was very malnourished because of the condition , he only weighed 20 lbs. MRI and surgery was performed. He had anal opening surgery and then 2nd surgery to close the side hole. Godfrey is now a happy, healthy little boy who is now able to attend school and fit in with his age mates. Surgery costs were $4000

Favour
-Favour Scarlett was referred as she was unable to walk without falling. On further investigation it appears that the child has several issues including speaking. After consulting with Leah (our affiliate in Kenya), we decided that the best help we could give was to purchase proper shoes, to give her the necessary support. The parents were very happy that we were able to assist. The parents showed us documentation from the hospital where the child was taken for observation and we were able to reimburse the charges of $192 that they had to pay. The cost was minimal for the two pairs of shoes provided . The child is now able to run and play. The parents are grateful.
MaryAnne
-Mary Anne is a 12 year old girl, one of five children. The parents came to us when it was discovered she was diagnosed as a type one diabetic. This is foreign to the parents on how to deal with this. Mary Anne has fainted, unconscious and has visited the hospital several times. While Naida was in Kenya in Sept 2024 she took Mary Anne to see a specialist who explained to the mother, Leah and Naida how best to deal with the lifestyle of a diabetic. Since that time, OLCC has been helping with the costs of the needed drugs. It has been a struggle for the family, due to the costs of the drugs. The latest visit to the hospital OLCC paid $250. OLCC will continue to assist with a portion of the pills ($7 per month)
Stella
-Stella is a toddler who was born with a boil on her bladder. She needed a Bladder Exstrophy Repair. She had one done when she was only 5 months old but it failed.
Her surgery was actually performed in India this time & was covered under medical. OLCC provided the funds necessary to cover living expenses for the 6 weeks Mom and Stella were there. Total cost was $500
