Recoveries

Both of these young people lost a leg in the Haiti earthquake. Through the financial help of people supporting HHF, they were sent to a hospital that specialized in stump repair and prothetics. Both have received new limbs and now have a chance for a happy, productive life.
They came to see us to say "thank you" and to show us how well they were walking!
The boy had to amputate his own leg with a machete to extricate himself from beneath a fallen building!! As he said, "the earth was still shaking and I was afraid the rest would come falling on top of me. I had to get out!"
These two had not known each other before the earthquake, but both are from Abricot, a town beyond Jeremie. And both will be continuing in school this fall.
Miracles DO happen, one at a time -- and this is a story of TWO of them!
Take care. Do remember the people of Haiti, in both your prayers and your financial support! Mary Ann
