Mercy is a two-year-old little girl from Kenya. She is her mother’s only child. Mercy lives with her mother and extended family. Her mother is currently in nursing school.
In 2014, Mercy sustained burn injuries on her body from a hot water accident. She was taken to a hospital and treated for her injuries on her toes. However, now she is having mobility difficulty, and so has been recommended for contracture release surgery.
On October 10, Mercy will undergo surgery at our medical partner’s care center, AIC Kijabe Hospital. Our medical partner, African Mission Healthcare Foundation, is asking for $1,176 in funds to cover the cost of her procedure and accompanying lab, hospital, and medicine fees.
“Our only wish is to have Mercy treated so she may begin living a normal life again,” says Mercy’s aunt.
