For 17-year-old Hillary Midenyo, every day began with pain, a sharp, throbbing ache in his ear that never seemed to end. Nights were worse, marked by sleeplessness, fever and the constant discharge of pus. His childhood has been defined by pain, endless hospital visits and missed school days.
Hillary’s guardian, Carolyn Onzare, knows the story all too well. She has been both a mother and a nurse to him, watching helplessly as the little boy battled a condition she barely understood.
“My name is Carolyn Onzare,” she begins softly. “I’m Hillary’s aunt, and I’ve taken care of him since he was a child after his mother passed away. He was only two years old when he first complained of pain in one ear and had a high fever. I thought it was just a normal infection that would heal with time but I was wrong.”
