Eighteen month old Kantu  was placed at the refuge by state and federal authorities after being rescued from a very abusive home. His left arm was severely broken. Kantu suffered  head trauma and multiple skull fractures causing neurological damage.  In addition, he also had lacerations of the head and inner thigh that went to the bone and ear damage causing probable deafness  in his right ear. He has undergone surgery to pin and stabilize his arm and stitches to close the open wounds over his body.

We are asking for someone to sponsor Kantu and for donations to cover the cost of his extensive medical care which will be ongoing for several years.  He will continue to need X-rays, tests and exams.

Kantu cannot walk due to the extreme damage to his leg and will require a great deal of time, care and rehabilitation. Any donations received to help with Kantu's medical expenses and care will be deeply appreciated. Please keep him and the refuge in your prayers and God Bless all of You!  Only God and time will heal the effects of the mental abuse and repair the neurological damage, hopefully, to full capacity.

This is Kantu after surgery and medical treatment.  His visible injuries are healing nicely but it will take years for him to overcome the  mental and neurological damage..
