When playing volleyball, Sandra sustained a closed fracture of his right distal tibia and fibula. Now it is difficult for him to walk and he is in pain.
Fortunately, surgeons at our medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre, can help. On May 11th, Sandra will undergo a fracture repair procedure, which will cost $465. This procedure will help him walk easily again.
His family hopes he can walk easily again and be free of pain.
