Rael is a primary level student from Kenya. She is the fifth born in a family of eight children. Rael’s parents are casual laborers, and the family lives in a rented two-room house.
In early November, Rael was visiting her grandparents when she fell from a motorbike. The bike’s chain tore her knee, resulting in a fracture and a degloving injury. She is not able to walk or move. Rael is at risk of infection and permanent disability.
Fortunately, our medical partner, African Mission Healthcare Foundation, is helping Rael receive treatment. On November 21, surgeons will perform a debridement and skin graft procedure to heal her infected bone. Now, Rael needs help to fund this $1,129 procedure.
Rael says, “I want the pain I am feeling to just end. I would like to walk with ease.”
