Mary is a nine-year-old girl from Kenya. She is the 5th among six children being raised by a single mom.
When Mary was three years old, she was diagnosed with a bow leg on her left leg. This is a condition where one’s leg is curved outward at the knees. It affects her movement, ability to perform daily tasks, and her self-esteem.
Mary is scheduled for corrective surgery on February 27th. After surgery, she will be able to walk and move better and gain self-confidence. Our medical partner, African Mission Healthcare, is requesting $1,224 to fund Mary’s surgery.
“I will be able to walk well like other children and continue with my studies,” Mary said.

Mary underwent corrective surgery for her leg.
Mary successfully underwent surgery to address the bowing of her left foot through a proximal tibial osteotomy with medial plateau elevation and lateral partial hemiepiphysiodesis. This procedure aimed to correct the alignment of her foot to prevent further bowing.
The outcome of this treatment is significant for Mary, promising her a future where she can walk comfortably with a straight left foot. Beyond the physical improvement, this correction is expected to boost her self-esteem, allowing her to engage more confidently in her daily activities and studies.
Mary expressed her gratitude, sharing, “I will be able to walk well like other children and continue with my studies.”
