South African woman saves money to help rescue a stranger's baby
In a similiar story about saving money Briefly News wrote about Keren Muir who came across the tragic story of baby Levi from Uganda and saved up moola to help him.
The little boy swallowed his meconium, which has the potential to be fatal. The first stool passed by an infant is known as the meconium and in Levi’s case, it spread to his lungs.
Baby Levi was just born and already fighting for his life.
His father, Sam, was told he needed to come up with $1 600 (R22 000) for his baby to undergo the required operation.
