Agnes underwent surgery to repair a fractured ankle so she can work again.

Agnes’ procedure was successful and she was doing well post-operatively! Agnes was discharged home the day after surgery with crutches and newfound happiness. Agnes will be able to carry out her daily activities and walk well with time. The financial state of Agnes’s family will improve now that she will be able to work and earn a living.

Agnes shared, “Walking had become difficult for me. The state kept me worried since my children look up to me for their daily needs. Thank you so much for helping me and May God bless you.”

Agnes is a quiet, 49-year-old farmer and mother of six, living in the Rift Valley region in Kenya.

Currently, her family lives on a small piece of land that was given to them, after they were displaced from their original home. The family depends on Agnes, as her husband is unable to work. In order to provide for her family, Agnes does casual jobs within the community, and also travels to neighboring villages to do farm work.

While carrying a heavy load on one of her jobs, Agnes fell, fracturing a bone in her ankle. She suffers from joint pain and swelling, and is unable to bear weight on her right leg. This injury prevents Agnes from being able to work, which jeopardizes the well being of Agnes and her family, as she is the sole breadwinner for them all.

Fortunately, surgeons at our medical partner, African Mission Healthcare, can help. On June 28th, Agnes will undergo a fracture repair procedure, called an open reduction and internal fixation, at AIC Kapsowar Hospital. African Mission Healthcare is requesting $1,145 to fund this procedure, which will enable Agnes to continue to support her family, and to resume her life as it was prior to her injury.

Agnes says: “I am living because of my children. They always look up to me for their needs. My hope is to be well again and continue supporting my family.”
