His mother passed away after a cesarean section. His elderly widowed father found himself overwhelmed by the responsibility of caring for the boy and Lucky’s eight siblings. A genetic defect deprived the child of his crus. However, the missing hip joint did not stop him. Instead, with determination that amazed everyone around him, he developed his own technique of crawling. Every day is a struggle, but also a testament to overcoming even the greatest obstacles. What initially seemed impossible became his everyday reality. Instead of walking, he runs! Instead of envying others for their health, he inspires them with his resilience. His life embodies triumph over adversity.
A school kit includes notebooks, allowing children to study at home. It also includes a pair of shoes, which, if not for Kasisi, they would have to borrow from their siblings.

You can pack one into their backpack today—from right here, from your own home.
