Meet three-year-old Paulo! He loves to be active and play games, but his club foot makes that difficult for him.
Our medical partner, African Mission Healthcare Foundation, writes, “Paulo limps when he walks because of the congenital deformity of his left foot. If not treated, Paulo will have an increased chance of developing early osteoarthritis.”
With $1,160, Paulo will undergo a combination of casting and surgery to re-align his foot and ankle joint. “We very much want Paulo to be able to walk properly like his siblings. He will then be able to walk long distance to school and do other activities without problems,” says Paulo’s mother. Let’s help make this a reality for Paulo!
