Meet Jackson! He’s a farmer from Kenya who has two children. He is also a widow. Earlier this year he fell and fractured his femur. He was taken to a hospital but could not afford the surgery he needed.
Jackson has difficulty walking and is in a lot of pain. If his broken bone continues to go untreated, his condition could affect the surrounding tissues in his leg and the fracture could heal in a deformed position. He is also at risk for infection.
For $1,000, Jackson will receive surgery to properly set the broken bone and get him back on his feet. Jackson’s brother, who brought him back to the hospital, hopes he’ll finally receive medical attention. Let’s get him help so his bones will reunite and Jackson can walk and farm pain-free again!
