Husna's outgrown her artificial leg and now walks with a limp

Husna is a girl of 11 who lives in Dar es Salaam. She was born with no anus and a leg that had to be amputated. Her mother can’t afford the colostomy bags that she requires. Also Husna has outgrown her leg and a new one costs a minimum of $200, probably closer to 3. If anyone knows of a medical supplier that might be able to donate the bags the details are “two piece drainable pouch, small, transparent/overlap Cut to fit 13-32 mm.” Thank you! The photo was taken on Christmas eve. Baobab took Husna out for a memorable Christmas. She even got to meet ’santa” in the city!
