Mohammed is a 3-year-old boy living in Kenya. He is the older of two siblings, who are raised by their single mother. Mohammed enjoys singing and is always cheerful.
Mohammed has clubfoot on both feet. This causes his feet to turn inward instead of pointing straight. Despite doctors’ attempts to correct this condition through the use of casts on his feet immediately after birth, there has been no improvement. Consequently, Mohammed can’t walk, stand, or wear shoes like other children because his feet are too twisted.
Fortunately, Mohammed traveled to visit our medical partner’s care center, AIC Cure International Hospital. There, surgeons will perform clubfoot repair surgery on April 18th. Our medical partner, African Mission Healthcare Foundation, is requesting $1,286 to fund Mohammed’s procedure. After treatment, he will be able to walk and play like other children.
“I look forward to seeing my son standing upright and walking normally like other children.” Mohammed’s mother said.
