Muksin is an eight-year-old boy from Tanzania who is perpetually cheerful despite his inability to walk or run like normal kids. Muksin was born with club foot, a painful condition where the foot turns inward at the ankle. Even though it’s difficult, he does his best to keep up with other children. He says he dreams of becoming a football player.
Muksin’s parents work hard to afford basic needs. His father is a carpenter and his mother works at a local bar. They deeply wish for their son to be able to walk normally, but without treatment, his condition could get worse and progress into osteoarthritis.
Just $715 will provide this happy young boy with surgery to lengthen his Achilles tendon and casting that will help him walk and run properly. Let’s help this future football player gain full mobility!
