Kishumui is a spirited three-year-old boy from Longido, Tanzania, and the youngest of four siblings. Full of energy and sociable, he loves playing with other children. His parents are livestock keepers with limited income.
In November 2022, an unfortunate fire accident changed Kishumui’s life dramatically, resulting in severe burns on both of his legs. Although he eventually healed, he developed contractures in both feet, including disfigurement of his toes.
Fortunately, our medical partner, African Mission Healthcare, is helping Kishumui receive treatment. On November 6th, surgeons at their care center will perform contracture release surgery and skin graft to help him walk easily again. Now, Kishumui’s family needs help to fund this $832 procedure.
Kishumui’s mother says, “I understand that my son’s feet may never be the same, but I hope he will still be able to walk and wear shoes like other children.”
