Dioscoro is a hardworking man and a loving father. He lives in the Philippines with his wife and two children. When he is not taking care of the family or working, Dioscoro loves to play basketball.
In December of 2014, Dioscoro sustained a lower leg injury during an accident. The injury has been painful and has prevented him from working. Surgery was recommended at the time of the incident, but he was unable to meet the cost of treatment. The pain has continued and has forced him to stop working.
After Dioscoro sought help from our medical partner, International Care Ministries, physicians recommended an open reduction internal fixation procedure. This procedure is used to treat fractures by inserting a metal rod into the medullary cavity of the bone. This will allow for proper healing and should relieve the pain as well. Dioscoro’s surgery is scheduled for April 4 and will cost $1,500.
Dioscoro says,”This whole time I was praying that someone can help me. And my prayers were answered now. I am looking forward that after the surgery I could able to work and make my family whole again. Thank you to all of you.”

Dioscoro underwent fracture repair surgery.
Dioscoro had a successful surgery on his fractured leg. He is slowly improving and is expected to fully recover with no evidence of his previous injury. After almost three years of using crutches that made it hard for him to work and provide for his family, Dioscoro is excited to work more comfortably and also to play basketball. He is now undergoing therapy to strengthen his leg and eventually use it without assistance or crutches. Dioscoro’s self esteem was also boosted, and his jolly personality has returned.
“After my surgery, I feel that I was whole again physically. I can now feel my legs without pain and move around step by step without assistance. I am hopeful that the surgery will be a success for my family and my son who really sacrifice a lot for me. I want to work again to sustain my children. Thank you for helping me fulfill those dreams,” says Dioscoro.
