Help Karabo Mofolo Walk Freely – Your Donation Can Change His Life
Born Different, But Full of Hope
Meet Karabo Mofolo, a year old brave boy born in Soweto with a condition called Anisomelia—a significant difference in leg length that makes every step a challenge.
Unlike other children his age, one of Karabo’s legs is noticeably shorter than the other. This condition affects his balance, mobility, and ability to perform simple activities like:
🚲 Riding a bicycle – He struggles with coordination.
🚶🏾♂️ Walking and running – His limp causes strain on his back and hips.
😔 Everyday life – Simple tasks that most kids take for granted are a struggle for him.
A Failed Attempt at a Solution
Doctors once provided Karabo with orthotic shoes to help balance the difference in leg length. But the shoes were too heavy for his little body, making them impossible to wear.
Now, surgery is his only hope.
A Mother’s Love, But No Resources
Karabo is raised by a single mother, who relies solely on a government grant to survive. She cannot afford the life-changing surgery her son desperately needs.
Although Karabo goes for check-ups at public hospitals, there has been no progress or solution. His only chance is specialized treatment overseas—but the costs are overwhelming:
✈ Plane tickets for Karabo and his mother
🏥 Surgery & medical care
🏡 Accommodation & transport abroad
🍽 Food & basic needs during the trip
Without help, Karabo will continue struggling with pain and mobility issues.
A Child Who Doesn’t Yet Understand the Cruelty of the World
Despite his challenges, Karabo remains joyful and full of dreams. He doesn’t fully understand the bullying he faces at school—but the emotional and physical toll of his condition will only grow as he gets older.
You Can Be His Miracle
A life-changing surgery is possible, but Karabo needs you.
💙 Your donation can help fund his treatment and give him a future free from pain.

AHMED MGWEQO
Meet Ahmed Mgweqo: A 16-Year-Old Waiting Over a Decade for Medical Care
Ahmed Mgweqo was born in South Africa at Fezile Dabi Provincial Hospital in Sasolburg. He should be like any other teenager—laughing with his friends, playing sports, and dreaming about his future. But for the past 12 years, he has been trapped in a body that won’t cooperate.
A Life Changed Forever
Ahmed was a perfectly healthy child when he was born. However, at just four years old, his legs began to fail him. He lost his balance, struggled to walk, and gradually, everyday tasks became impossible without help.
His family rushed him to public hospitals, desperate for answers. Doctors suspect that his kidney issues might be the root cause of his condition, but this has never been confirmed.
His condition continues to worsen, making walking and daily activities nearly impossible. For more than 10 years, he has been waiting—without a proper diagnosis, without treatment, and without hope.
A Daily Struggle for Basic Independence
Today, Ahmed is 16 years old and in Grade 8. His condition affects his mobility and independence, making even the simplest tasks a challenge:
✔ He needs classmates to carry his books to and from school.
✔ He struggles on rainy, slippery days, as walking becomes dangerous.
✔Though some children support him, he still experiences bullying because of his condition.
✔ His family has no income and cannot afford private healthcare or overseas treatment.
Despite these hardships, Ahmed refuses to give up. Every day, he walks to school like any other child, determined to build a better future. But without medical intervention, his condition may only worsen.
