Michael is a casual laborer from Kenya. He is the second born in a family of three kids. Michael does odd jobs to earn a living.
Three months ago, Michael slipped and fell, sustaining a closed fracture of the radius bone. He was taken to a nearby clinic, and a Plaster of Paris was applied.
He visited our medical partner’s care center, and an x-ray showed that his bones have not united correctly. Michael is in pain and cannot use his right hand.
Fortunately, surgeons at our medical partner can help. On November 6, Michael will undergo a fracture repair procedure, called an open reduction and internal fixation. This treatment will enable Michael use his hand again and eventually resume his odd jobs. Now, our medical partner, African Mission Healthcare Foundation, is requesting $998 to fund this procedure.
“My mum is the only one I have and she is not able to help, I hope to get help and have my hand working again,” says Michael.
