Meet Eden, a sweet two-year-old girl from Ethiopia. She already knows she wants to be a doctor when she grows up, and is excited to begin school in a few years. She loves playing with her brother and sister at home.
Eden lives with trigger thumb on both hands, which is the painful locking of the thumb. This deformity interferes with hand function and will make it especially difficult to learn in school. The appearance of her hands also carries a social stigma, and other kids regularly tease Eden.
Eden’s father says, “I always worry about her future, because I know it might seem her hand problem is little but still I know it is going to cause her a lot of problems when she grows up.”
We can end this worry. For $1000, Eden will receive trigger thumb release on both of her hands, which will allow her to develop the right motor skills she will need as both a student and an adult. Let’s help Eden so she can lead a confident and productive life!
