Jonathan is a playful three-year-old boy and the youngest child in a family of four children. He is currently in kindergarten and is learning to read and write, but finds it difficult with his condition. Jonathan’s father works at construction sites, while his mother sells vegetables.
One year ago, Jonathan was burnt by a hot iron, suffering burns on the fingers of his right hand. The burns healed with contractures making it difficult for him to straighten his fingers.
Fortunately, our medical partner, African Mission Healthcare (AMH), is helping Jonathan receive treatment. On June 10th, surgeons at AMH’s care center will perform a burn contracture release surgery so that he has full use of his fingers. Now, he needs help to fund this $874 procedure.
Jonathan’s mother shared, “we want our son to have his fingers corrected but the cost is too high for us to afford. Please help us.”

Jonathan underwent contracture release surgery so he can use his hand.
Jonathan has had a successful surgery that helped release his right hand fingers which had limited movement due to scars from a fire accident. Through this surgery, Jonathan will now have full function of his right hand, allowing him to carry out his daily life activities with ease, such as writing at school and playing. He is still getting regular clean dressings of his post-surgical wound and is healing well.
Jonathan’s mother says, “Thank you very much for making our son’s treatment possible, we were stranded due to the cost of treatment but thanks for your help and support, our son is well now.”
