You
Sharon lives in Uganda and has hydrocephalus, and in Uganda the sort of specialty medical care Sharon needs is scarce.

But you can change Sharon's life forever.- You can help

About Sharon
Sharon has a twin sister, but her parents, Charles and Lillian, can easily tell them apart. That’s because when Sharon was only six weeks old, her head began mysteriously increasing in size. “I knew there was something wrong,” said Lillian, “when Sharon’s head began growing much larger than her twin sister’s.” Lillian knew her daughter needed medical attention, especially when members of the community began to associate her daughter’s large head with witchcraft. So Lillian, along with her three children, began a journey that would eventually lead them here to CURE Children’s Hospital of Uganda.
Lillian now knows her daughter has hydrocephalus, a condition that, if left untreated, leads to significant brain damage, severe developmental delay, blindness, and ultimately death. Thankfully, she has come to the right place, and Sharon is going to receive the critical surgery she needs to survive!
