Whether it’s R10, R20 or even R100, every small donation that’s come through to the family of baby Mnqobi, who was born with congenital deformity called tibial hemimelia, has gone a long way. The family needs to raise R3 million for his treatment in the US

Whether it’s R10, R20 or even R100, every small donation that’s come through to the family of baby Mnqobi, who was born wTasked with doing the near impossible – raising R3 million for a shot at having the nine-month-old boy be able to walk – Mnqobi’s parents, Nthabiseng Nhlanhla and her husband Mzwakhe, were almost immediately spurred into action to raise the money for their little boy to get the pioneering surgery in the US.

The condition, which manifests as a shortened leg with knee and ankle deformities, has affected both of Mnqobi’s legs and resulted in them being turned inwards. “It’s especially touching because ordinary people found it within their hearts to reach into their pockets and give what they could.” The family also got help from Good Samaritans including Justin Kramer, whose family they met through Baby Bright Stars, a day-care centre. Kramer, who was scheduled to climb Mount Kilimanjaro in October with his Backabuddy team to raise awareness of Mnqobi’s case, has brought the date closer and will undertake the climb next month.
