Godwin spared from permanent disability!

Godwin Bote, a courier and motorbike taxi driver who has to look after his four-year-old son on his own due to his mother’s mental health condition, suffered a complete fracture of his right lower leg in a road traffic accident last October. Although the fractures were displaced, for financial reasons the leg was simply put in a plaster cast – and, moreover, the cast was applied incorrectly.

As was to be expected, the bone had not healed. A follow-up X-ray six weeks later showed that the fracture gap was still present, with the bone ends having failed to fuse.

Thanks to your donations, he was able to undergo osteosynthetic treatment: An ‘intramedullary nail’ was inserted through the fractured tibia, which has since resulted in stable fracture healing.

You have, quite literally, helped Godwin back onto his feet, thereby saving him from permanent disability and poverty.
