Reshid Huth is a young adult Ethiopian adoptee from Afar, adopted to the U.S.. Reshid has returned to Ethiopia several times since his adoption, including a recent solo trip, where he met a 4-year-old cousin, Hassen.

Hassen has a serious heart condition called Tetralogy of Fallot. He needs an urgent, complex surgery.

Reshid has made it his goal to help his little cousin get the life-saving surgery he needs. A hospital in Addis Ababa can perform the surgery

Now, Reshid is working to raise funds for Hassen’s life-saving heart surgery, and for the follow- up cleft palate surgery.

Every donation brings hope to Hassen and his family.

And, it helps Reshid meet his goal to help. I am absolutely inspired by Reshid and his efforts to help his little cousin and family.

Please donate to Reshid’s GoFundMe. Please share the GoFundMe link with others. Many thanks.

Personal note: I am the grandmother of a 4-year-old, and I can only imagine what Hassen’s family is going through. I am also friends with Meghan Walsh, Reshid’s adoptive mom. Meghan is the founder of Roots Ethiopia, and a strong proponent of family and of Ethiopia. I’ve “borrowed” some of the language here from a post by Meghan, and want to acknowledge that. Please help Hassen; he is surrounded by love and compassion, and needs this life-saving surgery.
