“He always was falling down. I’m a single mother and I work and it is difficult and hard as a mother. First I want to thank God and then you doctors. Oh, how I would like to thank you in person for what you are doing. This is a poor city and if it wasn’t for you and what you do we would have no hope of being here at the hospital”
His Mother
“It is difficult for me as a mom watching my son fall so much. It has also been hard because I want to take him places but I can’t unless I carry him but he’s getting too big. I thank God for allowing my dreams to come true thought his opportunity. First and foremost I thank God and you. I am very thankful for this opportunity.”
His Mother
“He hasn’t been able to move around well. He always wants to run out and play with the other children, but he can’t. So instead he’ll chase after them crawling because it’s all he can do. It is hard to watch that as a mom. First I want to thank you. An operation like this would cost a lot of money, money that I don’t have. This is an operation that I could never get for him on his own. I thank God and I thank you for giving my child the ability to walk.”
His Mom
“I found out a while ago that my son had some type of stroke resulting in problems with his vision and partial paralysis of his foot. We as parents have done a lot trying to help him, so many different procedures. It has been hard though, it almost feels like we have been experimenting on our son, trying to find out what works and what doesn’t. We decided to pray to obtain the means to go to the United States and have him be operated on up there but with time we realized that we could never afford the trip. But it has turned out that instead of needing to go up there to find help, help came to us. Thank God for that. Thank you doctors. I imagine that leaving work and family is a difficult sacrifice, but thank you … thank you so much”
His Dad
“It has been so hard. I have taken my daughter to the hospital and it is difficult to see your daughter struggle so much. All I can say is thank you. I thank God and you. A surgery of this type would have cost 30,000 empiras. I don’t have that much money. Our nation is so poor, and does not have the resources’ to help someone so poor like myself. Thank you for the noble work you do. Keep coming, the people are very happy because of the help you have offered.”
Her Mom
“When my granddaughter walked for a while her foot would hurt her. Seeing that hurt me because I love her. Often at night time I would sit next to her bed and massage her foot, sometimes I would fall asleep next to her as I massaged her feet. I would always wake up at night hoping that her foot was better but it never was. I thank you a thousand times for helping my little girl. I pray that God will bless you and give you even more wisdom. A thousand thanks.”
