A heartbreaking story unfolds as a woman is asked to kill her baby after her husband vanishes, cruelly stating, "Send it back to the devil you got it from." Bajeneza Liberata, a resilient mother, has been caring for her son since his birth in Rwanda. Abandoned by her husband, she faces mockery from villagers, who label her child as a monster.
Despite the child's rare condition and being labeled "devil spawn" by his heartless father, Bajeneza Liberata is determined to seek medical care for her son. However, doctors have provided no support, leaving the child in great pain.
After several days, a compassionate Samaritan finally drives Bajeneza and her child back to their village. In response to their plight, a GoFundMe page has been set up to raise funds for their medical treatment abroad.
Generous donations, totaling over £58,000, have poured in, with one individual contributing nearly £1,300. Messages of support flood the page, expressing hope for the spread of Bajeneza's love and miracles for her son, both locally and globally.
One person writes, "I pray this baby gets treatment soon and finds comfort. He and his mother deserve the best!" Another adds, "Seeing this baby cry and his tears breaks my heart. I'm praying for the needed medical help and treatment."
A woman online believes she recognizes the condition and suggests it may be cloverleaf deformity, also known as Pfeiffer syndrome. This condition occurs when the joints (sutures) between a baby's skull bones fuse before birth. There are different types, ranging from mild effects to severe abnormalities affecting the skull, face, and eyes.
Depending on the severity, reconstructive surgery may be necessary, often within the first year of life. Individuals born with this syndrome often face learning disabilities, long-term airway problems, and feeding difficulties.
Despite the challenges, Bajeneza Liberata's unwavering love for her son inspires compassion and a collective hope for a brighter future for them both.
