Blessing C., 4

Blessing lives with her parents. She likes drawing pictures and playing with her pets. Her favorite meal is yoghurt and chapati. Blessing would like to be a teacher when she grows up. For 3 days, Blessing has been vomiting and also had hotness of the body, abdominal pains and diarrhoea. Her mother brought her to the hospital when symptoms were not subsiding. She had been on pain medication for the three days but her condition seemed to get worse by the day. She was glad that Helpster Charity was able to assist in paying for the medical treatment of Blessing.
