Peter is a young boy from Kenya. He is the only child in his family and a 1st-grade student in primary school. His mother says that he likes to draw and play with his peers while at home and at school. The family comes from Gathaiti village, Gatundu in Kiambu County. Peter’s mother is a housewife, and his father is a boda boda (motorcycle for hire) driver who works in the village.
Peter has clubfoot on his right foot. Clubfoot is a condition in which the foot is twisted out of shape. This causes difficulty walking and even wearing shoes.
Fortunately, Peter traveled to visit our medical partner’s care center, AIC Cure International Hospital. There, surgeons will perform clubfoot repair surgery on February 27th. Our medical partner, African Mission Healthcare Foundation, is requesting $1,286 to fund Peter’s clubfoot repair. After treatment, he will be able to walk easily and wear shoes.
Peter’s mother said, “I seek support to help my son undergo surgery and walk like other children and improve his self-esteem while in school and at home.”
