Evaline underwent surgery on her leg to allow her to walk with ease.

Evaline has had a successful surgery that has helped release the congenital amniotic banding that was impacting her leg and her mobility. She is now doing well and has already been discharged home from the hospital. Through this surgery, Evaline will be able to walk without the difficulty and without the challenges she was going through before she had this treatment.

Evaline’s grandmother shared, “God bless you all for all the help and support that you have given to my granddaughter. She is now healed and walking like other children with no problem at all.”

Evaline is a charming, smart seven-year-old girl. She knows a lot a fun facts! Evaline is being raised by her grandmother, after her father was upset when she was born with a birth condition impacting her left leg. Her mother decided to have Evaline grow up in the care of her grandmother out of fear of discrimination. Evaline thinks of her grandmother as her own mother and they are very close. Evaline’s grandparents are small-scale farmers who depend entirely on what they harvest for their food. They are able to make small amounts of money by selling vegetables.

Evaline was born with a condition on her left leg called amniotic banding and left clubfoot. She has undergone treatment for clubfoot but is in need of care for her amniotic banding condition. As a result, she has a hard time walking and carrying out daily life activities.

Fortunately, our medical partner, African Mission Healthcare, is helping Evaline to receive the life changing treatment she needs. On March 2nd, surgeons at their care center, Arusha Lutheran Medical Centre, will perform corrective surgery on her left leg, which will allow her to walk more easily. Evaline and her grandparents needs help to fund this $639 procedure.

Evaline’s grandmother says,”This far my granddaughter has gotten through your treatment is a miracle.”
