“We are worried about the condition of our son. He is becoming less and less active," Elisha's parents tell us. Eight-year-old Elisha has what doctors call a "windswept deformity"— genu valgus on his right leg and genu varus on his left. This means that Elisha is bow-legged and has difficulty walking and pain in his knees. If not treated, his condition could lead to early osteoarthritis and a significantly reduced ability to walk at all. Elisha is a happy, friendly boy who enjoys being active. "He sometimes goes out with his father to herd cattle as that is what his father does for a living," says our medical partner in Tanzania, African Mission Healthcare Foundation (AMHF). Elisha's parents are loving and supportive, and work hard to provide for their family, but often struggle to make ends meet. "Their income is not enough to cover their daily expenses as well as the corrective surgery which their son needs," says AMHF. Fortunately, for $940, AMHF can perform surgery to straighten Elisha's limbs and allow him to walk properly.
