Erick is a charismatic little boy from a loving family. He was born with clubfoot, a common condition in which the foot is turned inwards, making walking or doing any physical activity difficult.
Erick’s grandmother was worried about him right away. She took him to a local clinic in her village, where they applied the “ponseti method” (a non-invasive clubfoot treatment) improperly, which did little to fix Erick’s problem. Now, several years later, Erick is being seen at CURE’s hospital in Lusaka, Zambia’s capital.
The surgery Erick needs to treat his condition costs $1,000. His family cannot afford that kind of expense, so we need to help CURE cover the cost of his procedure. This will be an incredibly impactful treatment, enabling Erick to use his legs like a normal little boy and go onto live a healthy, active life.
