Kea is a 41-year-old food seller. She is married and her husband works as a potato and vegetable farmer to make a living. The couple has three daughters, who are in first, ninth, and 10th grade in school. In her free time, Kea enjoys exercising, playing with her children, watching television, cooking, and shopping.
Three weeks ago, Kea fractured her right hand as she tried to catch a fan that was falling from her ceiling. She experiences pain and cannot move her finger.
Fortunately, surgeons at our medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre (CSC), can help. On April 25th, Kea will undergo a fracture repair procedure at CSC’s care center. The surgery will allow her to use her hand easily again. Now, she needs help raising $483 to fund her procedure and care.
Kea shared, “I hope my hand heals quickly and I am able to return to work soon without pain.”

Kea underwent fracture repair surgery so she can regain use of her hand.
Kea was depressed she could not use her hand to work or perform activities of daily living. She was thrilled to find that Children’s Surgical Centre surgeons were able to help repair her finger. She underwent surgery and was able to return home the same day. She will follow up with the clinic for the removal of stitches, and work with the physiotherapy team to increase the flexion of her injured finger. When it has healed completely, she can use her hand to work and support her family.
Kea said: “I am grateful for the care I received. I will be able to use my hand to hold things and feel healthy again. Thank you to the people who helped me to have this surgery, and to the surgeons who were able to repair my finger.”
