Bildad is a 24-year-old man from Kenya. He lives in a rental house with his wife and child. Bildad’s younger siblings are in school, and he helps to pay their school fees. He earns a living selling khat plant in his village, while his wife works as a laundress.
In early December, Bildad fell from a moving vehicle and fractured his mandible. He was brought to our medical partner’s hospital, AIC Kijabe Hospital, to receive first aid and undergo an x-ray. On December 16, he underwent an open reduction internal fixation procedure to mend his jaw. This treatment lowered his risk of continuing pain or other complications.
Bildad cannot afford healthcare, so he needs our help to fund this $640 treatment. “I want to be well and continue providing for my family,” he shares.
