Tola is a 34-year-old with a younger brother and a younger sister. Tola’s father works as a tuk tuk driver, and his mother sells vegetables at the market. In his free time, Tola enjoys playing football, drinking coffee with his friends, and reading the news.
Tola was in a traffic accident last February that caused fractures to his right arm. He underwent fracture repair surgery at a local hospital, but even after the wound healed, he still cannot move his right wrist. He visited our medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre (CSC), for help.
Fortunately, on June 7th, surgeons at CSC will perform a tendon transfer procedure so he can regain use of his right arm. CSC is requesting $572 to fund this procedure. Tola was able to gather $100 to contribute to his medical care.
Tola says, “I hope I can move my arm again after surgery, so I can return to work and support myself.”

Tola underwent fracture repair surgery so he can return to work.
Tola traveled to the Children’s Surgical Centre and specialty surgeons repaired his nerve. He will start hand exercises with the physiotherapist in a week, and is hopeful this will correct his problem so that he can return to being a driver. Being able to use his hand will let him find a job and support his family once again.
Tola said: “I am relieved that doctors discovered why my wrist would not work. I was worried I would never be able to use my arm again or drive a moto. Thank you to the wonderful staff at the hospital and to everyone who supported my surgery. I am very grateful I will have full use of my arm soon.”
