We were able to help three people specifically that we would like to elaborate about.
1. A lady who had a large tumor in her abdomen. We couldn't do anything at our clinic but we gave her some money to get a lab done. She brought us back a receipt and the change along with the good news it wasn't cancer but did need to be removed. We gave her the money for the surgery.
2. A husband with a wife and four children who was shot in the foot while waiting at the bus station to go to Belize for a job. He was caught in a shootout between the police and a local gang. We had to take him to the hospital for x-rays and to see a specialists. Good news is he will not lose his foot. We showed him how to clean his wound and gave him the supplies he will need to keep it clean along with a set of crutches.
3. The young boy in the picture whose tongue was connected to his mouth in such a way that it prevented him from talking and thus he was not allowed to go to school. After spending most of the afternoon on Friday trying to locate him we finally found him and Dr. Mark was able to fix the problem. As we drove him home he kept sticking his tongue out. It was great. As you can see by the pic his mom was just as happy.
