Ethiopian refugee family seeks support for medical crisis
Shuna Tosa and her husband Gelashe care for Hajo Tosa in a village with little water and infrastructure. Doctors deem surgery too risky for a large skull base tumor, leaving fundraising and immigration costs as the main relief. The Cedar Rapids church and community have raised funds to assist the family and five potential new children.
