Godfrey is a 49-year-old manual labourer from Kenya. He currently lives alone since separating with his wife. Godfrey has one daughter who lives with his mother. He works hard in order to support his family. Though Godfrey completed secondary school, he did not attend college, so he started working casual jobs. He mostly works at construction sites.
On January 12th, as Godfrey was working, he fell from the first floor of a building under construction and badly injured his right leg. He has sustained a fracture, it is difficult for him to walk, and he is in chronic pain.
Fortunately, surgeons at our medical partner can help. On January 28th, Godfrey will undergo a fracture repair procedure, called an open reduction and internal fixation. This procedure will help him walk easily again. Now, our medical partner, African Mission Healthcare Foundation, is requesting $1,049 to fund this procedure.
Godfrey shared, “I am so desperate and just don’t know where to go for help. If not for my friend, I would have just stayed in the house with my sick leg. I plead for help so that I can be well to go back to my work to support myself and my daughter.”

Godfrey underwent a fracture repair on his right leg.
Godfrey successfully underwent a fracture repair surgery and within three days he could walk with the help of
crutches. However, three days after the first surgery, he had to go back to the operating room for a plate adjustment, which was also successful.
Godfrey was very happy and was full of smiles after the surgery because he remembered how he struggled and now he could see himself walking again. Godfrey has a lot of confidence following the doctor’s remarks that after the healing process he would be able to walk and even resume his casual job. This would make Godfrey independent and not depend on his friend.
Godfrey shared, “Only God can know my happiness and appreciation. May God bless those who assisted me. I
know once the leg is healed, I will go back to work and earn to support my daughter and me. Thank you!”
