Fred is a 25-year-old man from Kenya. He has two other brothers, a plumber and a motorcycle operator. His single mother tends to their small farm to earn a living. Fred and his mother live together on their ancestral land.
On December 20, Fred fell from a tank from which he was drawing water. He sustained a femur fracture and was rushed to our medical partner's hospital. He underwent an X-ray and is scheduled to undergo an open reduction internal fixation procedure on December 22.
Fred's family contributed $260 to his care, but they need help to pay his remaining $1,451 medical bill.
“I want to be well," says Fred, "to continue earning a living and probably start my own family."
