Ulrich was born with dislocated knees and a condition known as quadriceps contracture. His muscles do not develop at the same rate as his bones, causing his legs to bend drastically backward.
After several desperate attempts by his mother - Georgette to find his beloved son the surgery he needed to walk, they proved meaningless as she was faced with financial difficulties.
But for the godly intervention of Mercy Ships donors and volunteers, Ulrich had his expensive surgery taken care of.
His life is now transformed after undergoing a successful surgery free of charge. When he stood, he reached up to see if he could touch the ceiling. And when he finally walked again, the first thing he did was hug his mum.
“Before, when I would walk in the street, people would stare at me. They thought I was just a handicapped person, and they treated me differently. Now they will look again,” Ulrich says with a smile.
If you're touched by this, you can donate to support Mercy Ships to carry out more surgeries to patients with financial difficulties.
