For 24 years, Mimi has lived in silence and pain. She cannot speak. She cannot walk. And she has never received proper medical care.

She was born healthy, but when she was just three months old, red rashes began to cover her face. As she grew older, the rashes worsened. Her lips and tongue became swollen, and her body weakened. Mimi often falls when she tries to stand, and her condition only becomes more difficult with time.

Her parents work as farmers and could not afford to take her to the hospital. Their home is far from healthcare access, and for years, they had no one to turn to. When Mimi once fell and injured her head badly, her parents, out of fear and desperation, began tying her legs to a post whenever they went to work. They were afraid she would hurt herself again.

Every day, Mimi’s mother cries. She wishes her daughter could live a normal life. She dreams of the day Mimi can speak and no longer cry in pain or hunger.

Recently, as Mimi’s condition worsened, kind neighbors and the local community helped the family bring her to the hospital. But the medical costs are far beyond what her family and the neighbors can afford.

#KindSouls, if you are reading this, we hope you can be part of Mimi’s journey. Your donation today can help ease her pain and bring hope to a family that has carried this burden for far too long.
