“I am worried that if I fail to walk, I will lose my job and fail to support my children who need to finish up their education,” shares 55-year-old Zablon from Tanzania. “Education is the only thing which will help them in the future and I want the best for them.”
Zablon, a father of four children, has osteoarthritis. “Zablon is having a hard time walking due to pain on his right knee,” our medical partner, African Mission Healthcare Foundation, tells us. “The pain is getting severe as time goes on. If not treated, Zablon will continue to suffer.”
“Zablon works with the city water council. His work requires him to walk a lot, recording the readings on water meters. His condition is jeopardizing his job and he still needs to help his children who are going to school.”
With a knee replacement, Zablon will be able to walk without feeling pain and continue working. Treatment costs $960. Let’s help him out!
