You will receive updates on the child's status, their procedure, recovery, etc.

Cassie and I both follow Daisy's story. Daisy is the little girl that I had the opportunity to suture.
Here are some other kids from Cure Kenya (click on their names if you're interested in their stories):

If you have time, please check out one of Cassie's latest blogpost (WARNING: The pictures are very graphic, if you do not think you can handle it -- SCROLL FAST). The Cure Hospital here in Kenya literally bends over backwards to make sure that children from all around Kenya are provided for, however since the hospital only specializes in orthopedics, some cases have to be turned away. That's what happened with James. I won't tell the whole story because Cassie does a great job of that, but his condition was so bad that he needed a plastic surgeon. Cure does not offer these services so James was referred to the Kijabe hospital, but due to a lack of money they decided to go home. James is at a very high risk of infection, such a high risk that death is highly likely. 

We ask that you be praying for this children and for the Kenyan Health Care Systems. There is such a lack of money in this country and health care is desperately needed.
