Noel is a nine-year-old student and the oldest child of two children in his family. He is currently in first grade in school, and will join second grade early next year. Noel’s mother works as a small-scale farmer to make a living, and sells her surplus when possible.
Noel has clubfoot of both feet, a condition in which his feet are twisted out of shape causing difficulty walking and even wearing shoes. This year, Noel has had difficulty walking to and from school.
Fortunately, our medical partner, African Mission Healthcare (AMH), is helping Noel receive treatment. On December 17th, Noel will undergo clubfoot repair surgery at AMH’s care center, and now, AMH is requesting $935 to fund Noel’s procedure and care. After treatment, he will be able to walk easily.
Noel’s mother shared, “I have always wanted to seek treatment for my son but due to financial challenges, I have not been able to get the money.”
