Therapists Without Borders aims to have a sponsorship/scholarship fund in the future, where people can donate to support people with disabilities to get medical assistance, supplies, and an education.
For now, Village Volunteers will accept donations on ThWB's behalf, to support the people who need help as soon as possible.
Kevin Ochieng is "16 years old but orphaned, and is now staying with his grandma. He is in class 8 and has been ill for the last 7 years." (as was described by Edwin, co-director of Dago Dala Hera)
At this time, his leg's growth has increased to the point that it is becoming difficult for him to walk. See pictures below.
If you or someone you know can help pay for all or part of a trip to the doctor, that could change (or save, depending on whatever is causing this growth!) his life!
Here is the breakdown of costs:
Transportation for him, his grandmother, and Edwin (who can negotiate and facilitate the process) to the town of Kisii, to Aga Khan Hospital (70km away) = 3000 KSHS or KES (Kenyan Shillings) = $36.85 USD
X-rays = 6000 KES = $73.71
Doctor fees + consultation = 4000 KES = $49.14
Total = $159.7 USD
Extra buffer for miscellaneous/unexpected charges (including transaction fees from banks to withdraw our wire transfers) and to round it up to an even $200 = $40.30
