This Samuel and his son...Samuel. They have an amazing story of survival. When Samuel was 4 years old, his dad and him were running from gun fire shooting at the people in his village who were scattering everywhere. Samuel said he picked up little Samuel and started running through a field. Sadly both he and his son were shot. And sadly both lost a leg to bullet wounds. Dad Samuel lost his right leg and his son lost his left. Little Samuel was also shot in the arm that did tendon damage.
Somehow they were able to obtain medical help along the way for amputations. However as young Samuel's leg bones continue to grow, they are pushing out through the end of his skin and causing infections. Samuel needs surgery to shave his bone down. He also needs help with his tendon so that he can use his hand again. Right now the tendon is pulling on his hand, cramping it in a position that he can hardly use.
I cant begin to tell you what an amazing and inspirational story shared with us in May and how heroic his father was and how much he loves his son.
So we have been asked to get involved and find medical help for Samuel.
If you know of a doctor or hospital that would be interested in this story and helping Samuel, contact us immediately. Also if you can help financially towards his trip here and the medical visa process costs, let us know.
Let us help Samuel heal. War should not rob a child of his health and well being.
Samuel is 12 years old.
