Hebron is an adorable two-year-old baby boy. He is a charming boy who loves to play with his older sister. Hebron’s father is a teacher at a local college while Hebron’s mother is a housewife. Despite working hard, it is difficult for Hebron’s father to make ends meet for their family.
Hebron has been diagnosed with genu valgus, where his legs bow inward so that his knees touch. This condition is typically caused by an excessive accumulation of fluoride in the bones, which often stems from contaminated drinking water. As a result, he has difficulty walking and this worries his parents since his sister suffers the same condition.
Our medical partner, African Mission Healthcare, is requesting $880 to fund corrective surgery for Hebron. The procedure is scheduled to take place on July 8th. Treatment will hopefully restore Hebron’s mobility, allow him to participate in a variety of activities, and greatly decrease his risk of future complications.
Hebron’s mother says, “Please help me, my children’s legs are being deformed and we are worried.”
