Tina’s big smile despite medical complications

Little Tina is 9 years and had surgery on her back before she was one month old. However, she walks with crutches and her medical complications are not over yet.

Tina’s operation resulted in some complications and she can’t walk; she uses crutches and her back is so bent.

Tina needs to be in diapers because most times she can’t sense when she needs to go and just soils herself all the time (urinary/fecal incontinence).

She lives with granny, 62, and she is also helpless. She uses a bar of soap weekly because of constant washing Tinah’s soiled clothes.

We will be looking into some medical intervention soon. However, for now, the urgent need was for these basic supplies to improve her living conditions.

We were able to get her a new bed, mattress, blanket, bedsheets, mosquito net, soap, diapers, and clothes. Many thanks to the friends who gave generously.

She will need better adjustable crutches. Tinah has started schooling and was in primary one before schools closed.
