Meet Joseph! Joseph is a hard-working husband, farmer, and father of seven living in Kenya. While working on the farm late last year, Joseph injured himself in the field. An innocent cut turned into an infected and debilitating wound, and he was diagnosed as having a severe ulcer in need of immediate medical treatment. Since Joseph is diabetic, the surgery is critical. If he doesn't receive surgery, his leg will likely need amputation. For $940, Joseph will receive the debridement and skin graft necessary to heal his leg. Joseph says, “I want to get well so that I can work hard and improve my family’s life.” Let’s help Joseph save his leg and continue supporting his family!

She needs surgery to drain the fluid, get her out of harm's way, and allow her family to resume its normal routine. Esther's mother loves her, but she is worried about her ability to care for her.
