Wesley is a 30-year-old man from Kenya. While Wesley is not formally employed, he engages in occasional online work to sustain himself and to support his dependent parents. On April 7th, Wesley was involved in a motorbike accident while driving in rainy conditions. The accident resulted in an open fracture of the left tibia/fibula. Upon admission to the hospital, he underwent suturing of the wound and was placed in a plaster back slab to stabilize the fracture. However, he will still require surgery. Fortunately, surgeons at our medical partner can help. On April 18th, Wesley will undergo a fracture repair procedure, called an open reduction and internal fixation. This procedure will alleviate the risks of permanent disability, potential infection, and malunion of the fractured leg. Now, our medical partner, African Mission Healthcare Foundation, is requesting $1,049 to fund Wesley's treatment and care. “Kindly help me. I have a lot of pain and am also worried about my leg. I hope to get support so that my leg can be treated, and I can be able to go on with my life and get married,” said Wesley.

Josophat lives with his wife and grandchildren in Malawi. His seven children are all married, and living in their own homes. Josophat did not complete primary school, and is now a small-scale farmer, growing maize for both consumption and commercial purposes. Recently, an old building collapsed outside his house, resulting in injuries to both of his legs. He was rushed to a nearby health center, where he was advised to seek treatment at our medical partner's care center Nkhoma Hospital. There, he was diagnosed with knee and ankle fractures, and he requires surgery to ensure proper healing. Presently he is in pain, and unable to work. Fortunately, our medical partner, African Mission Healthcare, is helping Josophat receive treatment. On March 12th, surgeons at Nkhoma Hospital will perform fracture repair surgery, enabling Josophat to return to his farming, free of pain. Now, Josophat needs help to fund this $636 procedure. Josophat says: “I am looking forward to treatment and recovery.”

Mariam is a newborn baby in a family of two. Mariam's parents are farmers who work diligently on their farm to provide food and sell surplus harvests for additional income. Miriam was born with clubfoot on both feet. Her feet are twisted inward and downward. This causes difficulty walking and even wearing shoes. Fortunately, Mariam's family traveled to visit our medical partner's care center, Kafika House. There, the team will begin clubfoot treatment on April 5th. Our medical partner, African Mission Healthcare, is requesting $935 to fund Mariam's clubfoot repair. After treatment, her mobility will improve, and she will be able to wear shoes properly. Mariam’s mother says, “Please help my daughter. I hope she gets treatment and grows up to enjoy a life free from disability.”
