Joseph is a 35-year-old experienced carpenter from Kenya. He says this is a noble calling that the father of Christ practiced and building homes brings him joy.
About three weeks ago, Joseph was building a house near Nairobi when he fell from the roof. He is grateful that the accident wasn’t fatal. However, he broke both his hands and was admitted to a nearby hospital. He wasn’t able to afford the surgery they recommended so was discharged.
Joseph then decided to come to our medical partner’s hospital, AIC Kijabe. Upon X-ray imaging, the doctors recommended he have ORIF surgery on both hands. The procedure will take place on August 25 and will cost $640.
Joseph is a father of two children. He is the sole provider of the family. Joseph and his family live in their ancestral land. With this surgery, Joseph will be able to recover and return to work. “I wish to be well and continue providing for my family as a carpenter,” Joseph says.
