Karuma is a strong-willed 41-year-old married man living in Kenya with his three beautiful children. Karuma's wife takes care of the kids, who are all school-aged. Karuma was a cashier at a hotel, but he had to stop working after he started experiencing severe pain in his left leg. Karuma went to the hospital and was diagnosed with septic arthritis. Doctors now advise him to have knee fusion surgery to relieve his pain and help him return to work. Karuma has been relying on his relatives and well-wishers to help support his family while he is unable to work. He says, "I just want to be able to work again so that I can support myself and my family instead of depending on others." For $440, we can fund Karuma's knee fusion surgery so that he can walk around with significantly less pain. Let's help Karuma become independent again and provide for his family!
