Meet Florence, a 28-year-old woman from Kenya. A few days ago, Florence was visiting her sister who is sick in the hospital, and just as she left to walk home she was hit by a car.
Florence sustained multiple fractures to her right leg and is eager to receive treatment with our medical partner, African Mission Healthcare Foundation.
Florence shares, “my sister is very sick and now I got this accident. I feel very devastated because I am the one who brought her from home to the city to get treatment. I hope I can get help and have a successful surgery so that I can go back and support my sister.”
Florence was already working hard as a cleaner to support her family and sister, but now that she is out of work and in need of surgery, she is concerned about how she will heal and meet her financial demands. Without treatment, she will live in constant pain and may not regain full use of her right leg.
For $1,125, Florence will undergo surgery to realign her tibia and fibula and set the multiple fractures. This operation will ensure that her leg heals properly so that she regains full mobility and can once again work, earn money, and care for herself and her large family.
