“This is not how I planned to start my life after getting employment,” 24-year-old Philip from Kenya shares. “I planned to be financially secure, marry and start a family before this tragedy happened. I really hope I can get help from the donors so that I am treated and be well again to fulfill my dreams.”
“Philip is a young single man,” according to our medical partner, African Mission Healthcare Foundation. “He is the last born in a family of eight children. Philip completed high school and was employed in the motorcycle taxi business.”
On December 6, 2014, Philip was “hit by a motor vehicle while riding his motorbike and sustained multiple injuries and fractures,” AMHF continues. The accident left him with multiple fractures of the tibia and humerus.
Philip needs two surgeries to get healthy. The treatment and procedure costs $1,125. Doctors predict that after the surgery, Philip’s bones will heal and he can start working once again.
