Mosses is a four-month-old baby boy from Tanzania. He is the second-born child among two children. He lives with his parents, who work hard to provide for their family. His mother is a tailor, while his father is a farmer who cultivates maize. Despite their modest livelihoods, both parents are committed to giving their children a healthy and hopeful future.
Mosses has clubfoot on the right foot, a condition in which the foot is twisted inward. If left untreated, it can make it difficult for him to grow up and walk comfortably and wear shoes.
Fortunately, Mosses’s family traveled to visit our medical partner’s care center, Kafika House. Surgeons will begin clubfoot treatment on September 1st, and our medical partner, African Mission Healthcare, is requesting $341 to fund Mosses’s clubfoot repair. After treatment, Mosses has the opportunity to grow up walking comfortably, wearing regular shoes, and enjoying greater freedom and confidence as he develops.
Mosses’s mother says, “I am grateful that we were directed here. I hope this treatment will give my son the chance to walk comfortably as he grows.”
