Laandare is not your ordinary 17-year-old. He graduated primary school last year and often had his nose buried in a book reading, writing, or solving mathematical equations. Laandare was also a star football player - despite never playing a full game because of his condition.
He has difficulty walking or running long distances due to knock knees. If untreated, he has an increased chance of developing early osteoarthritis. As the eldest son of six children, Laandare has been helping his father herd cattle, but their income is neither reliable nor enough to cover his surgery.
For $555, Laandare can get the treatment he needs to treat his legs. Let’s help Laandare make strong strides towards his dream. Laandare says, “My dream is to one day become a mathematics teacher and teach students the way my math teacher used to teach me.”
