Joel's aunt, hitchhiked for a week to make the 700 mile trip from Mwanza to Dar Es Salaam so that her recently orphaned nephew could receive the life-saving cardiac surgery that he needed. They arrived on the 4th day of a 5-day surgical week. The schedule was full. Rather than turn him away, the Mending Kids team operated an extra day and scheduled him for the Saturday, so that her efforts to save him would not be in vain.
Erber's mom traveled from their remote village, on foot and for hours, with Erber in tow and his little brother on her back, just to get to a road. They waited, ultimately hitchhiked to a town and got on a long bus ride to Guatemala City. Finally, they reached Mending Kids, where we were holding a general surgery mission and Erber received the surgery that he needed.
We hike this October so Mending Kids can continue to offer critical surgical care to children in need all over the world, including in the USA. Every step you take with us, you take with them. By hiking and raising funds through your journey, you raise awareness of their struggle, and help these families return home with mended children and healthy futures.
