Kasaine is an 8-year-old boy, living with his family in a mud and grass thatched house in Southern Kenya. Kasaine’s father is a farmer and a herder, while his mother stays home to take care of their family.
Kasaine was born with a condition known as Rt hemiplegic CP, which means that his right side is weak, affecting his mobility, and the use of his hand. He tiptoes when he walks, and is able to walk only short distances. Kasaine also has clubfoot of his right foot, which causes his foot to be twisted, making it even more difficult for him to walk or to wear shoes.
Fortunately, Kasaine’s family traveled to visit our medical partner’s care center, AIC Cure International Hospital. There, surgeons will perform clubfoot repair surgery on June 20th. Our medical partner, African Mission Healthcare Foundation, is requesting $1,286 to fund Kasaine’s clubfoot repair. After treatment, he’ll be able to walk much more easily, play with friends, and continue with his education.
“My prayer is to see my son walking normally like other children.” Kasaine’s mother told us.
