Mary is an 8-year-old student in the second grade. Mary is the second born in a family of three. She is a quiet and humble girl. Mary lives with her grandmother as her father separated from his wife. Her grandmother is a farmer while her mother is looking for work. They all depend on their grandmother.
Mary has a condition called clubfoot that impacts her ability to walk and wear shoes. She underwent treatment at an earlier age, but unfortunately her condition has reoccured. She is in the hospital undergoing serial casting to prepare for surgery, which is scheduled for October 12th. Mary’s grandmother is not in a position to pay for the treatment and therefore she is requesting for assistance.
Our medical partner, African Mission Healthcare Foundation, is requesting $1,286 to fund Mary’s clubfoot repair. After treatment, Mary will be able to walk with ease, she will not struggle with pain, and she will be able to resume her studies after her treatment.
Mary’s mother says, “We are grateful for all of the support so far, however, the condition has recurred, and we are requesting for support so she can be well.”
