Juan is a 66-year-old man from rural Guatemala who lives with his wife and granddaughter.
Years ago, Juan worked as a driver, but was in a horrible accident that resulted in the loss of his leg. Since then, Juan struggles with walking and completing everyday tasks, and cannot work to support his family.
Through our medical partner, Wuqu’ Kawoq, Juan is scheduled to receive a prosthetic leg on June 6. Because of their scarce resources, Juan is requesting $1,166 to cover the total cost of the prosthesis.
Juan hopes that receiving a prosthetic leg will allow him to find a job again so that he can support his wife and take care of their family better. He says, “I hope to be able to walk well again and therefore return to work. I cannot stand life like this.”
