Esmie Needs a CURE

What is CUREkids and who is Esmie?

Esmie Duwa

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

Another child like Esmie Duwa needs her opportunity for life-changing care. You can help make that possible right now.

About Esmie

Amputation is the only alternative for some conditions and little Esmie Duwa has a rare condition known as tibial aplasia. Esmie has no function in her right leg and CURE surgeons plan to amputate it just beneath the kneecap.

Esmie’s mother believes she is the reason that Esmie was born with the condition. She will not have any other children in fear of them being born deformed. She hides Esmie’s deformed leg with dresses or long socks.

It’s extremely tough to look at Esmie’s case and realize she will wake up after surgery with a nub for a right leg. On the other hand, she will grow up not relying on two legs and will adapt well later in life. Please think of Esmie and follow her story. She’s a precious baby girl and hasn’t a clue about her deformity or her upcoming procedure. Lift up her life in prayer.
