Daouda's Mercy Ships Journey

While on board the #AfricaMercy, Hamady repeatedly called his friends back home to tell them that his son Daouda had been healed. No one could believe it until he sent a picture. After all, Hamady had already tried unsuccessfully to have Daouda treated at several hospitals before coming to Mercy Ships. The complexity of his case meant surgery wasn’t possible. Hamady admitted that he wouldn’t have believed the transformation himself if not for seeing it with his own eyes. He recounted about his family’s response, “That day, nobody went to sleep in our house. They were clapping their hands and celebrating!” #ThankYou for making these celebrations a reality for families like Daouda’s! #GlobalSurgery #SafeSurgery #HospitalShip #MercyShips Welcome to the official Mercy Ships YouTube channel!
