Seven-year-old Samuel is a cheerful boy from Kenya who needs surgery to treat clubfoot, a condition which prevents him from walking without extreme pain and makes it impossible for him to fully participate in his childhood.
Our medical partner in Kenya writes, “Clubfoot is a distressing condition for any parent. Thankfully, the treatment is very straightforward. We are optimistic that surgery and proper follow up will help deal with the condition once and for all.”
Samuel’s surgery costs $1,000. With a straightened foot, Samuel will be able to run and play like his peers. In the future, he’ll also have equal opportunities for jobs, since the social stigma around disability won’t apply to him.

Samuel received surgery to correct clubfoot, a condition which has prevented him from walking normally for his entire life.
The surgery went very well! Now Samuel’s right foot is straight like his left. He no longer has to battle with a bent, inflexible foot when he walks.
Samuel’s mother, Leah, expressed great happiness to our medical partners. “Even before surgery, Sammy told me he knew that God could help make both his feet the same. Now, we both believe he will recover well!”
