Pauline is 8 years old and she lives in Malawi. Sadly, Pauline’s father passed away, and her mother is now raising three children on her own.
Pauline is suffering from a bone infection in her left leg. About two years ago, the pain became so intense that Pauline was no longer able to stand or walk. Every day for the past two years, Pauline’s mother has carried her to school. Pauline’s mother is a teacher and knows how important Pauline’s education is, which is why she has ensured that Pauline continues school.
$1000 from Watsi donors will pay for the surgery to remove the infection from the bone in Pauline’s leg. With this surgery, Pauline will walk again. This will allow her to continue with her schooling, play netball again, and carry on a happy and healthy life.
