Kingsley was born healthy and strong. He lived a happy, active life until he was five years old, when he suffered a serious stroke. When Kingsley woke up, he wasn’t the same.
Doctors diagnosed Kingsley with epilepsy. Soon after, he began to develop hemiparesis, a condition that causes partial paralysis on one side of the body. Kingsley is at the age where he just wants to be normal – to have friends and play sports – but due to his condition he has trouble walking or even standing for long periods of time.
Kingsley’s family wants to see him live a healthy life. They live in Malawi, where 74% of the population lives on less than $1.25 a day. The surgery and physical therapy he needs to restore function to his right side costs $1000, an insurmountable sum for them. We hope to cover the entire cost of Kingsley’s care at CURE, and enable him to live the life he deserves.
