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.

ABOUT TRINITY HOWARD
Trinity Howard is an 11-year-old child diagnosed with cerebral palsy (spastic diplegia), a condition that primarily affects the muscle tone and movement of her lower limbs. Despite her physical challenges, Trinity is described by her physiotherapist as a happy and cooperative child.
According to her physiotherapy assessment, Trinity experiences increased muscle tone in both lower limbs, reduced trunk stability, tightness in her hip flexors, hamstrings, and hip adductors, as well as reduced ankle movement. These challenges significantly affect her posture, balance, standing ability, and walking pattern.
Trinity is currently unable to stand independently due to poor trunk control and balance. When supported in standing, her hips and knees remain flexed, and her ankles are affected by increased muscle tone. Although she is able to mobilise using a Kaye walker at school, she mainly relies on upper body strength to move and currently crawls for mobility at home because she does not have the necessary mobility aids available there.
Her physiotherapist has recommended orthopaedic intervention to improve her gait pattern, posture, and overall walking ability. It was further recommended that Trinity receive appropriate mobility support at home, including a wheelchair and Kaye walker, to improve her independence, comfort, and quality of life.
RSF is currently assessing ways to assist Trinity through medical intervention, mobility support, rehabilitation, and broader fundraising efforts aimed at improving her long-term mobility and independence.
