Evelyne is a five-year-old girl from Kenya. She's the second born in a family of three children. Evelyne suffers from congenital angular deformity, a condition in which the joints or bones themselves bend abnormally. Her bones are also very weak and keep breaking. Because of her condition, Evelyne cannot walk or stand on her own, making it difficult for her to play with other kids or attend school. Evelyne has been treated with casting, but her condition has not improved. On June 22, Evelyne will undergo corrective surgery to treat her condition. Our medical partner, African Mission Healthcare Foundation, is requesting $1,165 to cover the cost of the surgery, five nights of hospital stay, medication, and medical supplies. “My joy is to see my daughter rising up and walk after surgery. I would also want to see her going to school. Due to the struggles I am experiencing, I would request for your help,” says Evelyne's father.

Kayee is a happy and active 12-year-old boy from Tanzania. Kayee lives with his mother and two younger siblings, and he helps his mother by tending to his family's cattle and other household duties. Kayee has been diagnosed with bilateral genu valgum, a condition often referred to as "knock-knees." This means that Kayee's knees are misaligned and turn inwards, causing him trouble walking, extreme difficulty performing daily activities, and pain. Our medical partner, African Mission Healthcare Foundation, is requesting $838 to fund corrective surgery for Kayee that will help guide future bone growth. Kayee's surgery is scheduled to take place on June 27 and, once completed, will hopefully improve his mobility. "I will be very happy if my legs will be straightened up and be like other children’s legs so that I can continue helping my mother," says Kayee.
