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

About Maria
Against her mother’s wishes, her father opted to take her to a witchcraft doctor to find the cause for her fall and subsequent infection. The witchcraft healers inflicted small gashes on her entire leg which left small visible scars. It wasn’t until CURE’s mobile clinic team set up near her village that Maria realized the need for serious help. The doctors at CURE scheduled her for surgery to clean the infected wound and remove parts of her femur.
Maria is a lively girl that loves to laugh and is slightly embarrassed of her scars. She wants to become a nurse after she finishes school, her desire is to help others. My prayer is that Maria is filled with the gospel at CURE and she doesn’t resort to family traditions of witchcraft practice when she has a family of her own one day. Please pray for Marie and her family’s strong influence on her life.

Wednesday September 26, 2012 - Day 13The doctors are keeping Maria here for a few more days. They are keeping a close eye on her leg to make sure the infection isn't still present. They are keeping her leg elevated and keeping the fluids drained from her wound, which confines her to her bed most of the day. She is in good spirits and we have fallen in love with her sweet smile.
