Eight years ago, Juan lost his arm in an explosion. The incident severely impacted his productivity at work and around the house. As much as his family loves and supports him, 37-year-old Juan says he feels bad to have to rely on them so much to perform basic tasks.
When Juan heard that our medical partner in Guatemala, Wuqu’ Kawoq, provides fittings for prosthetic limbs, he jumped at the chance to receive one. Juan’s doctors report that he has excellent residual limb anatomy and anticipate that he will have a great functional outcome from the prosthetic arm. They note that they love how proactive Juan is being with his care!
By raising $940, we can help Juan overcome the previously insurmountable price barrier of getting a prosthetic arm. Let’s make this happen for him!
