Robert is a matatu, or public transportation, driver and the father of two children aged 16 and 7 years. He recently separated from his wife, so Robert currently lives alone in their home in Magina, Kenya.
On the June 26th, Robert was injured in a road accident and sustained twin fractures on his thigh and leg. Robert is now unable to walk on his own.
Fortunately, our partner surgeons can help. On June 30th, Robert is scheduled to undergo a fracture repair procedure, called an open reduction and internal fixation, to help him walk again. Now, our medical partner, African Mission Healthcare Foundation (AMH), is requesting $672 to fund this procedure.
Robert is anxious to return to work, “My legs are my source of livelihood. I need this surgery to be able to get back on my feet and fend for myself and my kids.”

Robert underwent fracture repair surgery to be able to return to work.
Robert was involved in a road traffic accident and sustained twin fractures of midshaft femur fracture and proximal tibia and fibula fracture. Doctors scheduled his right femur ORIF surgery first and he underwent the procedure. He’s recovering well at home and feels hopeful that better days are ahead. His next surgery will be later this month, which should offer full healing and get him back to being more active.
Robert says, “I am making good progress. I know I will be able to use my legs again and to get back on my feet and support myself and my kids.”
