This woman walked 6 kilometers carrying the baby to get to the clinic. She had a very bad burn on her right leg and foot that was 5 months old. The doctors cleaned the burn wound and we drove her back to her little hut only to discover 4 other children waiting for her. Her husband had died of AIDS and she was caring for all the children although she could hardley walk. The team ended up scheduling help for her at the Kisumu hospital. They also went back a couple to times to see her and dress the wound. Money was given to her to cover the medical needs of the foot and to get her by on for two months.
