Overcoming rickets in Nigeria is no easy feat. Joan’s journey depicts the difficulties faced by many children who are in the midst of this battle.
Born with bowed legs, she experienced the cruel reality of being different. Walking became a challenge, and school felt like an insurmountable obstacle. She also faced bullying due to her condition. Her parents, despite their best efforts, could not afford the expensive surgery needed to correct her condition. Economic instability and massive government layoffs had left them, and so many others, financially desperate.
Operation Blessing: Turning Hope into Reality
In the most critical moment, Operation Blessing emerged as a lifeline. When her family had exhausted all options, the organization stepped in to provide life-changing surgery. Now Joan’s life has changed in amazing ways, and she can do things that seemed impossible before. She has straight, healthy legs. She moves without pain. With the gift of surgery, she has a new confidence and is free from the bullying which once tormented her.
