John is a father of one child who lives with his family in a rental house in rural Kenya. He is a lorry driver.
In January, John sustained a fracture in his jaw. On the day of the injury, he was taken to a local hospital, where he learned that he needed surgery. However, John and his family could not afford the high cost of the surgery.
If his fracture is not treated, John will be at risk of malunion or nonunion. In other words, his broken jaw may heal improperly, which will cause him continued pain.
Our medical partner, African Mission Healthcare Foundation, is requesting $640 to fund a repair surgery. John’s family will pay $52. He is scheduled to undergo the operation on March 10.
After he receives the proper treatment, John will be able to live a healthy life again. He says, “I want to be well and continue providing for my family.”
