Lazarus is a 33-year-old father to two young children. For most of his life, Lazarus has worked as a daytime laborer, harvesting and moving sand for construction projects.
Sadly, Lazarus was involved in a car accident that caused him to sustain various injuries, including a severe injury to his spinal cord. Directly after this incident, Lazarus was brought to a hospital in Kijabe (a town in Kenya) and was administered preliminary first aid. Upon returning home, his condition worsened quickly, and he returned to Kijabe the following day.
Lazarus is scheduled to receive a spinal fusion surgery on May 10. This procedure uses bone to make a bridge between damaged vertebrae. This bone graft helps new bone grow and will hopefully help Lazarus recover from this debilitating injury. Our medical partner, African Mission Healthcare Foundation (AMHF), is requesting $1,500 to fund this operation.
With Lazarus’s uncertain financial situation and children in mind, Lazarus’s mother says, “I hope he gets well and can continue providing for his family.”
