A fall from a Mango Tree (P.S. we love our generous sponsors!)

Enock recovering  surrounded by his brothers and sisters

You would not know from this picture that Enock,  a twelve year old attending Rock of Ages School, is recovering from the worst trauma of his young life.  A couple of weeks ago, he severely  fractured  both his right leg  and left arm after falling from a mango tree.   He lay in bed for four days before under going surgery to reset his bones, crying whenever the pain medication wore off.   His family was desperate. Fortunately,  with financial help from his sponsor and  treatment provided by One4Another, a wonderful, non-profit based in Canada whose mission is to "alleviate suffering and give hope to the children of Uganda by facilitating life-altering surgeries", Enock was able to get the surgery he needed to start healing. It is an amazing story of love and resources coming together to help a young boy regain hope for his future.

The pictures below help to explain the story.

Look carefully. You can see the fracture of his femur (right leg)

Enock and his parents are thankful for the love and support they received. Without the surgery, he would have been severely crippled for life.
