After a couple years we have finally been able to schedule time with Operation Rainbow to see 6 of our patients with orthopedic needs!
Four children and two adults have been waiting so long for help. Their issues differ a little, but each one suffers because of their medical problem.
One patient in desperate need is Edwin Moises.
Edwin has been a patient for many years, suffering from club feet. Because he could not walk, he pulled himself – dragging his feet, creating open sores on both.
At his first visit, everyone remarked that it was a blessing he did not have any infected sores.
Over the years, teams have provided primary medical care for Edwin. His sores have healed and not recurred. As he’s grown, he has needed three Personal Energy Transportation (PET) devices so he could be mobile without dragging his feet. And he and his family have the reassurance that when the time comes, he can go to an orthopedic specialist to receive help.
That time is now!
Can you imagine how much a young boy like Edwin longs to play like other children?
He and others like him have waited years for help from Operation Rainbow – but transportation and lodging costs may prohibit them from going to their appointments at the end of October.
