Stephen is a 50 year old man from Kenya, who is the father of three children.
Stephen used to work as a caretaker at a children’s home. However, in April 2015, he was riding his motorbike when he was hit by another vehicle, and broke his right leg. A cast was applied at the local hospital, but Stephen later developed a wound that remains unhealed to this day. Stephen can no longer use his right leg, and for this reason, he no longer works, and no longer has a source of income to provide for his family.
In November 2022, Stephen’s right leg ulcer began to deteriorate. His pastor referred him to our medical partner, African Mission Healthcare Foundation, and Stephen is now scheduled for debridement and skin grafting surgery on January 12th, at AIC Kijabe Hospital. Because Stephen has undergone multiple procedures already, he has exhausted the medical coverage that he had, and the hospital has already waived one large bill that Stephen could not afford. Now he needs your help to raise the $1,185 to cover this final procedure, which should fully heal the wound, and prevent the possibility of Stephen’s leg having to be amputated.
Stephen says: “I tried to take care of the wound at home, but it worsened. I might lose my leg if not treated.”
