Bad burns on her arm made Chiku’s elbow completely immobile. She can’t straighten her arm to do everyday things, like go to work, attend school, or do household chores, and though she tries to remain positive, she is worried she won’t find a husband or start a family with a disabled arm.
Luckily a $500 surgery can fix her burns. The cost of treatment includes hospital stay, the procedure, and rehabilitation.
Chiku’s doctors at African Mission Healthcare Foundation are confident this surgery can restore function to Chiku’s elbow joint and enable her to life a full life. We look forward to hearing how Chiku is doing after surgery!
