Meet Sira, Mansare, and Zackaria.\t<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tMAKE A DONATION\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t

SIRA<\/strong><\/p>\n\t

Sira developed bowed legs when she was 4 because of malnutrition. Her parents waited and watched, hoping her legs would correct themselves.<\/p>\n

She couldn’t run. Couldn’t play. Couldn’t kick a ball with the other kids. After receiving a successful orthopedic surgery onboard the Africa Mercy<\/em>, she is now dreaming of what’s possible.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tDONATE NOW\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t

MANSARE<\/strong><\/p>\n\tMansare has lived with bowed legs since he was little. He dreamed of playing soccer freely with his brother, but every step was a challenge.\nThis little boy received free orthopedic surgery and persevered through rehabilitation. Today, he can run and play soccer with his brother.\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tDONATE NOW\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t

ZACKARIA<\/strong><\/p>\n\tZackaria struggled with blindness and his world was limited. Simple joys like playing with friends felt out of reach.\n

Zackaria received eye surgery through Mercy Ships. Today, he can see the field for the first time, he even hopes to become a professional soccer player one day.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tDONATE NOW\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t

Behind every child on this page is a team.<\/h4>\n

Volunteers who serve. Medical professionals who heal. Supporters who make surgery possible.<\/h4>\n

Now that team is preparing for what’s next. As the Global Mercy<\/em> sails to Ghana this August, more children and families are waiting for their chance to run, play, and thrive.<\/h4>\n

Thank you for helping make the next story possible.<\/h4>\n\t
