In a remote village in Gujarat, India, lives an innocent 14-month-old girl who has come down with a terrible disease. Dhabuhi Parmar is currently suffering from a severe case of hydrocephalus.
Hydrocephalus is a disorder that causes fluid to pool around the skull. The disease is particularly horrible because it causes a progressive enlargement of the head. It often causes mental disabilities, and if it goes untreated, it can even lead to death.
#1 Because of her condition, the young girl's head now stretches 23 inches from ear to ear.
Due to the added weight, she is unable to sit up. For now, she remains confined to her bed.
#2 While hydrocephalus is a relatively rare disorder, it can be treated if it's caught in time.
#3 Sadly, Parmar's parents are too poor to afford the necessary surgery for their daughter.
#4 However, since news of Parmar's condition first broke earlier this month, a GoFundMe page has been set up to raise money for the operation.
#5 The fund has actually helped this family surpass their goal. Check out the brave child's story below:
