“Abdinajib enjoys playing quiet games but does not run around like the other children his age,” says our medical partner, Edna Adan Hospital (EAH). “He finds this too difficult and is scared he will fall and hurt himself.”
Nine-year-old Abdinajib is a boy from Ethiopia who was born with club feet. He has difficulty walking, and has to walk on the sides of his feet – which is painful, and leaves him at higher risk for injury.
Abdinajib and his family travelled to our medical partner when they could not find treatment nearby their home. EAH is able to treat Abdinajib’s club feet for $1184, and provide further support after surgery.
“He has been linked to a disability outreach center that will assist him and his family with future mobilization equipment and rehabilitation,” says EAH.
Let’s help Abdinajib move around and play like other children his age!
