Henry is a 54-year-old father of six from Uganda. He grows trees for a living, and he enjoys listening to news radio and teaching his community about afforestation in his free time.
One day, on his way home from the nursery site, Henry was riding his bicycle when he was hit by a speeding vehicle. From the accident, he was knocked unconscious, lost a finger, and sustained carpal fractures in his hand.
On February 8, Henry will undergo surgery to reset his fractured hand at our medical partner’s care center, Bwindi Community Hospital. Our medical partner, The Kellermann Foundation, is asking for $358 to fund his surgery, medical supplies, and medications.
After recovering from his fracture, Henry hopes to continue growing trees and selling the seedlings in his community.
“I thank the people that are donating toward my care. May God bless you so much,” says Henry.
