Mosses is a seven-year-old boy from Tanzania. He is the sixth born of seven children, and his parents are farmers.
Mosses’s legs have been progressively bending since he was three years old. He has been unable to attend school due to the pain he experiences when he walks. Mosses’s parents were referred to our medical partner’s care center, The Plaster House, by a neighbor whose child was born with the same condition.
Mosses was diagnosed with genu valgus, a condition in which the legs bend inward and the knees touch. On November 30, he began a treatment plan that includes surgery, casting, and physiotherapy. Now, his family needs help to pay his $940 medical bill.
After recovery, Mosses should be able to walk. His parents hope that he attends school.
