Meet Lauriyano, a 62-year-old retired nature guide from Uganda. Lauriyano and his wife have three children, and he works hard growing tea to support his family. Lauriyano is a selfless man, according to his medical team.
Recently, Lauriyano was hit by a car while riding on a motorcycle to go to train farmers in another sub-county, where tea growing was not yet embraced.
Lauriyano sustained a fractured femur, but now is unable to afford the surgery he needs to recover.
Lauriyano hopes to resume his visits in his community to help more people with farming knowledge after his treatment. He also hopes to go back to church and serve as he did before the accident. With $534, Lauriyano will undergo surgery to realign and repair his fractured femur. With this operation, he will soon be able to walk again and resume his role in the community.
"I want to thank everyone that is supporting my health care bills and also the other patients in this hospital. God bless you abundantly," Lauriyano said.
