Help Shahidah Get Her Brain Surgery

Shahidah is a 5-year-old girl living with hydrocephalus. She developed the condition when she was one year old and underwent her first brain surgery at the age of two. Although the surgery saved her life, the swelling of her head could not be reversed, and she has continued living with the effects of the condition.

For several years, Shahidah was doing well. However, last month she began experiencing frequent seizures, severe headaches, and persistent vomiting. After further medical examinations, doctors discovered that the cerebrospinal fluid in her brain is no longer circulating properly because the drainage pathway has become blocked again.

Doctors have advised that Shahidah urgently needs another brain surgery to restore the normal flow of cerebrospinal fluid and relieve the dangerous pressure building inside her brain. The surgery will cost £5,000. Your support can give Shahidah the chance to receive this life-saving treatment and continue her childhood with hope.
