As I get older, I’ve started paying more attention to the simple mechanics of my body. The ability to stand up without pain. The ability to walk to the kitchen. We take mobility for granted until it's threatened.
In South Africa, thousands of children are born with Clubfoot. Without treatment, they face a life of disability, unable to run or play. But with treatment? They can walk perfectly. It is a permanent fix that changes a life trajectory entirely.
The Lesson: We often think "changing the world" requires millions of dollars. Sometimes, it just requires correcting a path early on.
The Mission: My local community (BCL) has been supporting Steps Clubfoot Care for years. Last year, we exceeded our expectations, raising funds to help children take their first real steps.
The Ask (For my American friends): We are trying to raise R60,000 South African Rand this Christmas. To us locals, that is a mountain to climb. But in US Dollars, that is only roughly $3,300.
Because of the exchange rate, your Dollar is incredibly powerful here. A $50 donation goes a very long way in funding casts, braces, and medical support for these kids.
If you’ve found value in my writings this year, I’d be honoured if you’d help us hit this goal. Let’s help these kids walk into 2026.
