Rejected, fragile, and gravely ill. This is the sad but accurate description of little Ian Kiwewa.
Baby Ian had hydrocephalus, a condition his family had never even heard of. His tiny body convulsed and his skull swelled as fluid accumulated on his brain.
Helpless, bewildered, and scared, Ian's mother, Regina, searched for help for her child. She found no solace in her own family; they felt indifference and even disdain toward Ian. Ian's own grandmother thought it was a waste of time and money to seek treatment for him.
Because of CURE and people like you, Regina and Ian's lives were transformed. At CURE Children's Hospital of Uganda, Regina and Ian were surrounded by comfort and love that their own family did not even afford them. Ian received top-quality medical care, giving him the opportunity to grow into a healthy boy.
