Severe esophageal damage from swallowing a cell battery; feeding & tracheostomy tubes

Joseph, 4, from a small village near Kumasi, swallowed a cell battery at age two, causing significant damage to his esophagus. He now lives with a feeding tube and a tracheostomy tube and needs surgery to repair the damage. This is his own real, ongoing appeal, organised by the Ghana Association for Medical Aid in partnership with Uriel Impact, a Ghanaian nonprofit, to cover the surgery and post-operative care — goal $35,000 (~GHS 542,500).
