Martha is a 17-year-old girl living with her aunt and two siblings in Kenya. Martha enjoys school, but had to stop attending so she could work alongside her aunt, selling vegetables, to help support the family.
In December of last year, Martha was severely burned on her right hand and torso. Unable to get adequate healthcare, her burns did not heal properly, making it difficult for her to work and take care of the household.
Our medical partner, African Mission Healthcare Foundation, is requesting $1,176 to fund Martha’s burn treatment procedure, which will be performed on July 17. After her recovery, Martha will be able to use her hand more freely and live more comfortably.
Martha is excited for her operation and says, “I would want to be treated and trust God that a well-wisher will come and educate me.”
