Charles is a 13-year-old friendly boy from Kimana, a few kilometers from Mt. Kilimanjaro on the Kenyan side. He is the second born in a family of three and is in class 4 at his school.
Charles has angular deformities and had surgeries to release his knees in 2010 and 2017. He walks in a crouched gait that makes it difficult for him generally and has to use crutches to support himself. Doctors recommend that he have a bilateral hamstring release that will allow him to walk with better ease.
Charles’s family comes from a humble background. His mother is a housewife and his father a subsistence farmer. Their income is limited to meet the cost of surgery and their family is thus asking for assistance. “I am requesting for support for my son to undergo surgery and resume back to a normal life.” Veronicah, Charles’s mother told us.
