Leon lost his right arm in an accident over 20 years ago, and has never had the opportunity to be evaluated for a prosthesis until now. An independent subsistence farmer, Leon and his family live off of the food he produces. They have no cash income. While Leon has been steadfast in his determination to provide for his family, regaining the use of his arm would significantly increase his ability to do so. For $940, we can equip Leon with a prosthetic right arm. Leon told our medical partner, Wuqu' Kawoq, that he is excited to learn how to swing a machete with his new arm. Let's help Leon improve his financial stability by helping him to be more productive!

Jose is a warm-spirited 39-year-old man from Guatemala. Nearly a decade ago, Jose lost his left arm below the elbow in a traffic accident. Ever since, Jose has had difficulty working, performing simple tasks and has developed low self-esteem. Because of the limited service and high costs in Guatemala, very few patients are able to afford prosthetics—even after ten years! For $940, we can help Jose get fitted for a prosthetic arm which will enable him to use his left arm again and regain his confidence.
