Robert, who is seven years old, is the youngest of three siblings. He and his family live in Kenya, where his father is a farmer, and his mother is a housewife.
As Robert grew older, his parents noticed an unusual swelling on his back. The doctors diagnosed Robert with a curvature of the spine and scheduled him for in-situ fusion upper thoracic spine instrumentation surgery on March 20th. This procedure will stop the condition from progressing and enable Robert to walk without pain and discomfort. Our medical partner, African Mission Healthcare Foundation, is seeking $1,500 to fund Robert’s surgery.
Robert’s mother shared, “I am grateful for what Cure Hospital is doing in partnership with the donors. I am looking forward to a successful surgery and to seeing my son resume a normal life like other children.”
