Beatrice may only be two-years-old, but she’s got the heart of a diva (in the best way possible). This little lady is brimming with attitude and a personality that’s just waiting to burst out. One of the things holding her back is the fact that she has six toes on her left foot. This extra digit makes wearing shoes nearly impossible and causes her pain when she tries to walk. Beatrice’s mother, Mary, hopes for an inhibition-free life for her daughter and one defined by who she is rather than the number of toes she has. For $1,000 the surgical teams at CURE Zambia will remove Beatrice’s problem toe and give her the ability to not only walk pain-free but let her personality flourish!

Yona is a smart and motivated ten-year-old from Tanzania. The oldest of three children, he lives with his parents on a small farm where they grow corn and sunflowers. While playing at school one day, Yona fractured his leg. If left untreated, his injury will cause him severe pain, prevent him from walking, and limit his opportunities in the future. Yona is interested in agriculture and farming, and hopes to grow up and own a large piece of land one day so he can support his family. He says he hopes to continue his education to ensure he will be able to manage his land successfully. For $700, we can help Yona receive corrective surgery and enable him to walk normally and without pain. Let's get Yona on the road to recovery!

Leon lost his right arm in an accident over 20 years ago, and has never had the opportunity to be evaluated for a prosthesis until now. An independent subsistence farmer, Leon and his family live off of the food he produces. They have no cash income. While Leon has been steadfast in his determination to provide for his family, regaining the use of his arm would significantly increase his ability to do so. For $940, we can equip Leon with a prosthetic right arm. Leon told our medical partner, Wuqu' Kawoq, that he is excited to learn how to swing a machete with his new arm. Let's help Leon improve his financial stability by helping him to be more productive!
