About Katherin
Katherin will basically be having two surgeries in one to correct the foot deformity that has been obstructing her physical ability her entire 9 years of life. She and her family had been praying to find some help because they didn’t have the financial means to take her to a private hospital, and doctors at the public hospital were afraid to perform her surgeries due to the lack of specialized instruments.
Her family found the answer to their prayers when they heard a doctor talk about a place that specialized in pediatric orthopedics: CURE Honduras. You can imagine how happy and grateful they were when they arrived at our hospital for their first consultation. She has now been scheduled for her surgeries a month from now, and we’re so thankful that God crossed our path with hers!
