Emmanuel is in the first grade and is enjoying learning how to read and write. He also likes coloring books and spending time with his older sister.
Emmanuel cannot walk properly due to deformities of both his feet. “Emmanuel has had two surgeries at two different hospitals without success. We just hope he can get the help he needs – the right treatment, because he truly has suffered a lot. We just want him to be able to walk properly, without feeling pain, and be able to efficiently do other things as he continues to grow,” said Emmanuel’s father.
With $1,160, our medical partner, African Mission Healthcare Foundation, will provide that treatment for Emmanuel. He will undergo a combination of casting and surgery to re-align his foot and ankle joints, which will end the pain that currently comes with walking.
