Meet James, a loving husband and 35-year-old father of two young children from Kenya. He works as a stone mason to provide for his family while his wife is a primary school teacher. James and his family stay in a single roomed house in Nairobi.
In July, James was attacked by thieves, and during the altercation, his jaw was injured. X-rays showed a fractured jaw and surgical intervention was highly recommended. Due to the pain, James has not been able to work since July and he is not able to provide for his family. If the fracture remains untreated, James will continue experiencing pain and may develop an infection over time.
For $660, James will receive the surgery he needs: an open reduction internal fixation to treat the fracture. James shares with us, “I want to be well to provide for my family through my work.” Let’s support James, so that he may return to his wife and young children in good health.
