Through the social worker of the Gobierno Regional Arequipa Chivay, Yenifer came (4 yrs.) in contact with us. She was born with anorectal malformation or the anus is not a normal way developed. Like it is usual in the whole world a temporary stoma was constructed.
Unfortunately, Yenifer didn’t receive any further research or appointment, neither given any information about how and what. Also there was not told how to provide a stoma, and the need for the use of ostomy bags. So Yenifer ran around three years with only a piece of gauze or a diaper. Until the social worker brought her to us. The pediatric surgeon has examined her and April 26 will perform the first operation which will be the closing of a fistula. And hopefully a few months later the stoma will be closed. Now we have the mother learned how to make a pouch and of course a given stock to Yenifer. A piece of this story I posted on our Facebook page and immediately spontaneously Karin Beijloos offered 500 euro to cover the cost of hospitalization (s), the surgeries, medicine and research.
