11-year-old needs financial aid for kidney transplant
The mother of 11-year-old Daron Adams is pleading with the public for
Daron Adams and his mother, Mayfield George
financial assistance to give her son “a second life”.
The boy, who has been diagnosed with chronic renal failure, is scheduled to undergo kidney transplant surgery at Balwant Singh’s Hospital in the first week of June. The cost for the procedure is $3M.
Daron’s mother, Mayfield George, who is donating one of her kidneys to her son, said that since last May, she noticed her son’s face swelling. Thinking that it may have been cold-related, she chided him about going into the refrigerator too often.
She recounted that after a week, his abdomen and feet started to swell, and she rushed him to the Suddie Hospital, where she was subsequently informed of her son’s serious condition.
The distraught mother noted that ever since the diagnosis was made, she has been frequently rushing her son to the Georgetown Public Hospital and Suddie Hospital for medical attention, but she was not pleased with the treatment he received.
“I was not satisfied with the service, because they had me and my son pushing around for a really long time, and I was forced to transfer him to the private hospital. If I had continued with the pace the public hospitals had me on, then it would have cost me my son’s life, and I am was not going to allow that.”
George explained that after her son did kidney biopsies at the private institution, she was informed that the child “has a scarred down kidney that will not last long, no matter what we do.”
As a result, the concerned parent is now appealing for monetary support to save her son’s life. Persons desirous of assisting can make their contribution to an account which has been opened for the cause, at Demerara Bank. The account number is 2007128. Ms. George can be contacted by telephone at the following numbers: 646-7664 or 661-5146.
