Fourteen-year-old Zablon lives with his parents and nine brothers and sisters in Tanzania. In addition to the typical trials of being a middle child, Zablon experiences pain when walking due to a deformity of his right shin bone, which has affected him since birth. Zablon’s parents are farmers; they don’t earn enough to support the whole family as well as afford the surgery that Zablon needs to correct his shin and help prevent osteoarthritis as he grows older. For $400, we can fund the surgery that will let Zablon walk pain-free like his peers and send him on his way pursuing his dream of becoming a doctor!
