From the moment Abubakarr took his first steps, it was clear no shoe would ever fit his feet. The simple joys of running, jumping, and slipping on shoes were out of reach.
On board the Global Mercy, Abubakarr underwent a 90-minute operation that would change the course of his young life.
Thanks to kind supporters like you, Abubakarr can now wear shoes and play football with his friends.
