Abigail Needs a CURE

What is CUREkids and who is Abigail?

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

About Abigail

She was identified through one of our mobile clinics that are reaching remote villages in Malawi. Abigail is from the Mangochi district and she traveled to Blantyre with her mother. Mangochi is a well populated area due to it’s close vicinity to Lake Malawi which runs down the east side of the country.

Abigail is only 8 and she has a serious burn contracture on her right hand. She crawled too close to an open fire when she was less than a year old. After the accident, she was taken to the hospital but she didn’t receive proper treatment and the skin on her fingers contracted making it impossible to fully use her right hand. She can’t fully extend the fingers and must rely on using her left hand for everything.

Her peers laugh at her condition and her mother says that she often comes home from school crying. Abigail wants to be a teacher when she grows up. She has 3 other siblings who all want to see her healed. Please pray that her surgery is a success and she gets another chance at life without ridicule or embarrassment.
