Richard

Richard is a 14-year-old boy from Uganda who, like a lot of the children in his village, has a passion for football. Richard has a condition called hydrocele which is an opening between the belly and the scrotum allowing fluid to pass back and forth between the belly and the scrotum, causing the scrotum to fill with fluid and swell causing discomfort. Although the hydrocele itself isn’t painful, it is the swelling that is causing Richard a great deal of discomfort so surgeons are keen to operate. Unfortunately his family do not have the funds for the required surgery. All donations received will cover the complete cost of the surgery, all medical supplies and full post-operative care.
