Caleb is a young, four-year-old boy with one older sibling. His family currently lives in a one-roomed rental house made of iron sheeting in Nairobi County in Kenya. Caleb’s mother is the sole breadwinner of the family, cleaning clothes in the neighborhood.
Caleb has clubfoot on both feet, which doctors informed his mother after delivery immediately, but Caleb did not receive care due to a lack of referrals. Now, four years later, his mother heard about our medical partner’s care center, CURE hospital, through a friend whose son had been treated at CURE. She was convinced to visit the hospital for possible treatment.
Fortunately, Caleb’s family traveled to visit CURE International Hospital. There, surgeons will perform clubfoot repair surgery on August 2nd. Our medical partner, African Mission Healthcare, is requesting $1,286 to fund Caleb’s clubfoot repair. After treatment, Caleb will be free from pain when walking and able to wear shoes comfortably.
“I am appealing for help for my son to undergo surgery. I will be grateful to see him walking without struggle like others,” Caleb’s mother said.
