James is a 17-year-old boy living with his father and seven siblings in Uganda. He enjoys studying science, and aspires to become a pilot, but can only go to school when his father is able to afford his school expenses.
Recently, “James was hit by a car and has a fractured leg,” reports our medical partner, the Kellermann Foundation (KF). Since the accident, he has not been able to go about his normal activities, and “until his leg is healed, he will not be able to work,” his doctor adds.
KF can help get James back to work through surgical repair of his fracture. During surgery, James’s bone will be aligned so that it can heal properly. Treatment will cost $138, which includes surgical fees and a three day stay at the hospital.
After surgery, James can return to going to school, and helping out his father.
“Thank you very much for the help. My father has a lot of expenses with so many children,” says James.
