Chilo received left angle infusion surgery to help him walk without pain.

Since his surgery, Chilo is on his way to walking normally getting back on track in school. Our medical partner, CURE International, shared, “Now he’ll be able to focus on his dream to pursue medicine, since now he’ll be able to get to school consistently and catch up with his peers.”

Chilo wants to pursue a degree in medicine. But in 2003, Chilo was involved in a road accident that left him with a left ankle deformity that’s limiting his education.

“The damage to his ankle has caused severe pain, limping, and limitations on where he can go and how far he can manage. Since it was the result of an accident, there aren’t social stigmas attached to it, but plenty of curious looks and it’s limited his schooling significantly,” says our medical partner, CURE international.

Chilo’s family has not been able to afford treatment for him and they tell us, “We are happy that we got contacts to come to CURE International through a group that Chilo joined back at home. It was a long journey to get here but we are happy that we are here.”

For $1000 we can fund a left ankle infusion that will give Chilo the ability to walk without pain and limitation.
