“Joseph is an active young boy who would like to play and attend preschool with his friends,” shares our medical partner, African Mission Healthcare Foundation (AMHF).
Say hello to Joseph, a three-year-old boy from Tanzania. Joseph was born with a bilateral clubfoot, a congenital deformity, causing his feet to appear internally rotated at the ankle. This prevents his from participating in everyday activities, like walking and playing with his friends and family.
“Joseph comes from a poor background,” continues AMHF. “His parents are peasant farmers.” Joseph’s family cannot afford the $1160 treatment cost. This includes an extensive hospital stay with casting, surgery, realignment, and physiotherapy to correct Joseph’s gait.
“Treatment will enable him to grow into a full functioning child,” adds AMHF. Let’s help make it happen!
