Moe is a 25-year-old farmer who lives with his wife in Burma.
Moe experienced a severe leg fracture a few years ago. After a month, his ankle joint began to swell. The swelling has continued to increase, and his ankle is heavy and hurts when he walks. He visited a local hospital where the doctors informed him that he needs to have a below-the-knee amputation to prevent the infection from spreading and to reduce his pain.
Moe is scheduled to receive his amputation on June 13 through our medical partner, Burma Children Medical Fund. He is requesting $1,500 to cover the total cost of his procedure.
“I know I will not be able to do farming and I will work as a carpenter after I recover,” says Moe.
