Edmond is a playful eight-year-old boy. He is the second born child in a family of four children. Sadly, his father passed away in 2021 after a short illness. His mother works as a sweeper in a supermarket to provide for the family. The family lives in a two-room home.
Recently, Edmond fell while playing at school and injured his left arm. He was brought to a local hospital where he had an x-ray and was told that he had dislocated his elbow. However, he received a second opinion at our medical partner’s care center and was diagnosed with a left supracondylar fracture. He needs urgent surgery to treat his injury so he can heal properly.
Fortunately, our medical partner, African Mission Healthcare (AMH), is helping Edmond receive treatment. On February 8th, he will undergo surgery to repair the fracture. This will ensure that his hand heals well and that he can use it fully in the future. Now, their family needs help raising $852 to fund his procedure and care.
Edmond’s mother shared, “I dream of getting my family out of poverty. I am trying to look for a better job so that I can care for my children. Unfortunately, my son’s arm is now fractured. I am worried about his future if he is not treated.”
