Agnes is a happy young girl from Tanzania! She’s three-years-old and lives with her grandparents who are small scale farmers. Agnes has knocked knees, which make it difficult for her to walk. Without treatment, Agnes will be at risk for developing early osteoarthritis.
“Agnes is a friendly and very active little girl. Her legs keep on bending and we are afraid she will fail to walk as she continues to grow older. We hope she can get medical treatment to restore normal functionality of her limbs so that she can continue to grow like other children and pursue her future dreams,” says Agnes’ grandmother.
Corrective surgery to fix Agnes’ knees costs $940. Doctors tell us treatment will improve her gait and will lessen her chance of developing early osteoarthritis. Let’s help Agnes grow up healthy!
