Ferdinand is a 6-year-old child and the second-born child in a family of three children. He and his siblings are being raised by their single mother. When Ferdinand was one year old, he was accidentally burned with hot tea which resulted in contracture of all his left foot toes. He now has pain when he wears closed shoes and walking is a challenge for him.
Fortunately, our medical partner, African Mission Healthcare, is helping Ferdinand receive treatment. On March 15th, surgeons at their care center will perform a burn contracture release surgery so he will be able to wear shoes and walk well. Now, Ferdinand’s family needs help to fund this $639 procedure.
Ferdinand’s mother shared, “Getting enough money to care and support my children is hard, especially for this special care that Ferdinand needs.”
