What is CUREkids and who is Pius?
You
Pius lives in Kenya and has an arm deformity, and in Kenya the sort of specialty medical care Pius needs is scarce. There are 100 million children in the world just like Pius who have little hope for the future.Many can't play with their friends or go to school, and when Pius grows up, things that we hope for like marriage or finding a job will be difficult or impossible...all because Pius has a curable disability! But you can change Pius's life forever.- You can help

About Pius
Pius’ injury to his right arm was a result of a stunt gone badly. He had just finished his obstacle course, climbing up a stone tank, and just when he was about to lift up his hands as a show of victory, he slipped and fell off, hurting the back of his head and his arm in the process. The injury to his head healed quickly, but his arm, despite many physiotherapy sessions, had not shown any improvements. That said, CURE was their last resort, according to his mother Dorcas. Hopefully a last resort indeed as we pray that this past surgery has done the trick, getting Pius back to his tricks…safer ones at least.

JSON RSS- Day 457The last time we saw him was in August, and the next time we will be going to Nakuru will be in August. With most of the elbow cases, the success rate is usually so high and parents assume that they do not need to return for follow up, we pray that that is the case with Pius.
Monday May 13, 2013 - Day 384Every time kids miss their appointments like this, we like to believe that it is because they are doing well and their parents feel that they no longer need any follow up. Please be praying that this is so for Pius as well. When he shows up though, we will let you know.
Friday March 1, 2013 - Day 331Can we try look out for him in Nakuru in February?
Monday January 7, 2013 - Day 250Pius's follow up appointment has been scheduled for 11/29/2012 - Again, no Pius at the clinic today. We are definitely calling them, to refer them to the last mobile clinic in their home area in November.
Thursday October 18, 2012 - Day 198Pius's follow up appointment has been scheduled for 10/18/2012 - There was no Pius at the clinic last week, He has been making remarkable progress and I pray that he will retain that record. I hope to see him at at the mobile clinic in October.

Day 83Pius showing off how much more he can flex his arm at the mobile clinic in Nakuru yesterday :-) Clearly he is doing so much better and we thank God for that. He is to continue exercising with his mother until we see them again in August. http://bit.ly/J5vU6C

Tuesday March 13, 2012 - Day 27Pius's follow up appointment has been scheduled for 05/03/2012 - Because of a government hospital strike, we had to cancel our mobile clinic yesterday! We tried calling Pius, but weren't able to connect, so until we hear otherwise, we're hoping he'll come for the next clinic in May :)
