Faith is a farmer from Kenya. She is a mother of two. Faith and her husband farm maize and beans to sustain their family.
A month ago, Faith was walking by the river when she slid and fell down, causing a fracture to her right ankle. The fracture was never treated but healed on its own, resulting in a malunion. This has made it difficult for her to walk and work on her farm.
Fortunately, surgeons at our medical partner can help. On December 15, Faith will undergo a fracture repair procedure, called an open reduction and internal fixation. This procedure will allow Faith’s ankle to heal well and she will be able to walk easily again. Now, our medical partner, African Mission Healthcare Foundation, is requesting $771 to fund this procedure.
“I cannot do any work at home, even preparing food for my children is a problem. I really need help,” says Faith.
