Boy violently abused in need of urgent medical care

A nine-year-old boy, who has only been identified as Neil, is in need of urgent medical care for third-degree burns and other injuries about his body.

The boy sustained his injuries in an alleged case of severe child abuse.

The Saving hand Emergency Aid (SHEA) publicly funded charity is raising funds for the boy, who is currently receiving care at the Georgetown Public Hospital.

“Due to the severity of his injuries, he must be medically transported to the United States for emergency treatment by air ambulance. Fortunately, we have secured treatment for him, but we need your help to get him to the United States,” SHEA wrote in a Facebook post.

The News Room understands that about US$50,000 is needed to transport the boy via an air ambulance. A SHEA volunteer is also expected to accompany him for treatment abroad and stay with him as he recovers.
