NoNo and his wife lost their only daughter in the earthquake, and their son suffered injuries so severe that his leg had to be amputated. He received a prosthetic leg from Mission of Hope and learned to walk again. NoNo now works at the prosthetics lab at our Clinic of Hope. He and his wife have adopted a little girl, and their son is a Chemistry teacher.
To date, our prosthetics lab has given hope to thousands of people by providing prosthetic limbs and physical therapy, all in an uplifting, Christ-centered environment. “We provide prosthetics and training at no cost to them,” says NoNo. “We want them to know the love God has for them.”
Because of you, amputees in Haiti are able to walk, play, and work. In a country with unpaved roads, few elevators, and a challenging job market, these prosthetics are truly life changing.
The destruction of the 2010 earthquake was truly horrific, but God is a God of redemption and restoration, and we have seen His loving hand time and time again over the past decade in Haiti. As we look back today on an event that changed the lives of our Haitian brothers and sisters, we ask you to join us in prayer as we remember all that has happened and all that God has done. |
