Update on Gift's Health

Gift was rushed to Lusaka this morning after a hospital visit in Mazabuka found he was extremely ill.  $350 was raised to cover some of the costs of the transport, medicines, food, and accommodations.  We will soon have an update on his diagnosis and what the total cost will be to make him better.  I am extremely grateful to the donors who provided Gift with his chance to live!  His family would only have been able to keep him comfortable and wait for him to die, since they do not have the funds to get him to Lusaka and treatment.  As you may imagine, Gift's grandmother is in awe of the love that you all have poured out on Gift and his family. 
I will keep you posted as I have more information. The staff of CHZ in Zambia have been going back and forth to get the family settled at the hospital and get the funds logged in.  It has been hectic for them, but it is all for a good cause =)
