“Our hope is that Nuru will one day have straight legs and the ability to walk fast and for long distances. Walking is the only way to get to school, and with a good education, our son will have the chance of living a much better life. That is what we want for him,” says Nuru’s mother.
Say hello to Nuru, a four-year-old boy from Tanzania and the third born in his family. Our partner African Mission Healthcare Foundation reports, “He likes to color pictures and pull a long train behind him, and he always has a beautiful smile on his face.”
Diagnosed with bilateral genu varus, Nuru has developed an outward bowing of the legs, affecting his gait. As a result, he is unable to walk or run properly.
For $940 we can fund the x-rays and surgical care necessary to give this young boy the chance to walk normally. Nuru’s parents have the responsibility of taking care of their three children, elderly parents, and other relatives, making it difficult for them to come up with enough money for the corrective surgery that their son needs.
Let’s help fund the treatment Nuru needs!
