This is Reaneas. He was 10mos old. We had several families and a medical organization advocating for medical intervention on his behalf here in the states. He was healthy with the exception of needing a shunt. Time ran out once again for another little child in Liberia. Due to contracting malaria which is very common in Liberia, Reaneas could not overcome it this time. He had all he could do to stay stable from having hydrocephalus. This beautiful boy passed away Saturday morning.
His mother has had a triple tragedy in her life. Her husband passed away suddenly 6 months ago, then her house burned down, and now her only child has died. How truly sad….
I am at a loss for words.. so many children are losing their lives from lack of medical care. Something we take for granted and have a right to here.
