“Jackson was born with congenital deformity of the feet,” his doctors write, “which later on will affect his gait and restrict his mobility if not treated.”
Jackson is a baby boy from Tanzania who was born with clubfoot, a condition which causes his feet to grow inwards instead of straight, and makes walking painful.
“Jackson’s parents badly need financial support so that their son can get the help he needs,” Jackson’s medical team says. “They rely on farming and that does not bring in enough cash to cover their basic needs as well as Jackson’s treatment. Jackson is very active. He likes to jump on her mother’s laps and enjoys to be carried around.”
Jackson’s mother adds, “Our hope is for our son to be able to walk when the time comes. Being able to walk properly will give him the freedom to walk to school and the ability to do other things with ease.”
With $1,160, we can fund Jackson’s surgery, repair his feet, and enable him to get a healthy start at life – and one day, school!
