Ulrich was born with a severe condition called quadriceps contracture, which caused his knees to dislocate and bend dramatically backward. His mother, Georgette, was determined to find a surgeon who could assist Ulrich in walking and functioning like other boys his age.
Despite facing constant ridicule and harassment, Ulrich learned to adapt to his challenging circumstances and taught himself to walk with the aid of sticks.
Finally, a surgeon from the United States, Dr. Frank Haydon, who volunteered with Mercy Ships, performed the surgery for free onboard the Africa Mercy. The operation was a success, and Ulrich can now stand and walk upright.
