Gerald is a man from Kenya. Three months ago, Gerald fell into a construction ditch. He sustained a traumatic left tibia fibula fracture. He is not able to walk without support and is in pain.
Fortunately, surgeons at our medical partner can help. On August 3, Gerald will undergo a fracture repair procedure, called an open reduction and internal fixation. This procedure will help him walk easily again. Now, our medical partner, African Mission Healthcare Foundation, is requesting $968 to fund this procedure.
Gerald says, “If I could be walking now I could be looking for work. I have faith that I will walk again.”

Gerald underwent fracture repair surgery.
Gerald underwent a successful ORIF surgery which the orthopedic surgeon termed it as a difficult surgery due to its complexity and its outcome might cause long term pain and might require ankle fusion after 15 years. Gerald who had lost hope is filled with joy. He says, “This is what I have been looking for, I just wanted to get treated but my family were unable to pay for my surgery. I was connected to the hospital by my friend and now my fracture has been fixed. Thank you.”
Gerald says, “I doubted if I could walk again but since I came to the hospital I received several words of hope and encouragement. I am optimistic that I will walk again. I am looking forward to starting a micro business and later get married.”
