Meet seven-year-old Muhiya from Ethiopia! She is an only child and is in the second grade.
Muhiya has developed a spine deformity that has rapidly progressed and has recently affected her ability to live a normal life. She has difficulty standing up straight, pain while lying on her back, and diminished mobility. Unfortunately, this has forced her to drop out of school, and her father’s passing has significantly impacted her mother’s ability to pay for the necessary medical treatment she needs.
Muhiya will need to undergo surgery to correct her spine, however, she will be expected to make a full recovery! For $1,500, we can enable Muhiya to live a full, mobile, and active life!

Muhiya received surgery for her kyphoscoliosis.
A volunteer physical therapist from the US was able to work closely with Muhiya before and after surgery. She said, “Muhiya is such a strong young lady. She is fearless and made such great progress in such a short time. She’s virtually pain free and her smile is now contagious. What a transformation!”
Muhiye said, “I am very happy about myself because I had difficulty breathing. I stopped going to school because of my condition and pains. My friends were always laughing at me and my condition. Now I breath well, I can now return to school when I get to my home country. Thank you to all who helped in straightening my back.”
