Pedro lives in an extremely remote village in Guatemala. The nearest hospital is a 6 hour bus journey from his village. When Pedro was just 9 years old he was seriously injured in a tragic accident. Exploding fireworks severed his right arm, causing him to lose all function of the limb.
The accident had a huge impact on Pedro’s life. Before the accident he had written and performed most other activities with his right hand. After the accident performing even simple tasks, like writing and dressing himself, became a huge struggle.
Despite his disability Pedro has achieved incredible things. He is studying literature at a satellite university and hopes to continue his studies at a larger tertiary institution. For just $650.00 doctors can custom fit and build a prosthetic arm for Pedro that will revolutionize his life and allow him to continue with his studies.
