Last October, William started experiencing pain in his right knee. Around the same time, his mother noticed that his knee was growing inward, making it difficult for him to walk. William’s family didn’t have any idea what was happening. They grew increasingly worried, but every time they sought medical care they were told they couldn’t be helped or sent somewhere else.
Fortunately, a friend recommended that William’s mother take him to CURE’s hospital in Lusaka, the capital of Zambia. Doctors at CURE immediately diagnosed William with a knock knee and identified a surgery that could correct his condition.
The surgery William needs costs $1000. His parents cannot afford to pay out-of-pocket for his medical care. There’s not much of a social safety net for them to fall back on, so we hope to raise the money needed to fully cover the cost of his treatment.
