Monica underwent hand fracture repair.

Monica underwent successful surgery. Her surgery was a difficult case which needed an additional surgery of bone grafting to replace missing bone and repair the bone fracture. A cast was placed on her hand after surgery and she was discharged to go home. Monica will be able to use her dominant hand after full recovery, hence she can be able to do attend to her daily house duties and feed her children.

Monica says, “It always feels good to be treated, walk out of the hospital knowing that my life has changed after sustaining a severe injury. Thank you supporters.”

Monica is a farmer from Kenya. She is a widow and a mother of four ranging between 11 and 2 years of age. Sadly, she lost her husband in February 2018 after he was attacked by bandits and his cattle raided. Monica didn’t go to school when she was young, so she can’t write, read or talk the national language of Swahili. Since her cattle were taken, Monica embarked on farming millet and sorghum in the farm left by her late husband.

Monica arrived at the hospital after she was assaulted by someone she knows two weeks ago and sustained injuries to her right hand. She is not able to work and is in persistent pain.

Fortunately, surgeons at our medical partner can help. On January 28th, Monica will undergo a fracture repair procedure, called an open reduction and internal fixation. This procedure will help her heal and use her hand again. Now, our medical partner, African Mission Healthcare Foundation, is requesting $771 to fund this procedure.

Monica’s brother says, “Or hope is for her to get treated, she is the sole breadwinner to her family.”
