This is 8 month old Brielle Hanson and her mother Tracey from Belmopan, Belize. Brielle was born with cleft palate, which is an opening in the roof of her mouth that makes it very difficult to eat and speak normally. There are no surgeons in Belize able to perform the surgery needed to correct this. Patients like this rely on missionary doctors to help them. This week the Healing Hands Abroad Team was able to successfully perform the surgery for Brielle.
This is Elias Chuc from Belmopan. He was stabbed in his arm almost a year ago and developed a large vascular mass. He has been unable to work because of it and no doctors here in Belize were able to help him. The HHA Team was able to remove it and Elias will be returning to work as a mechanic.
This is 3 year old Heizel who was born with left hand syndactyly. She underwent correction today by the HHA Team and will be headed back to Stann Creek with her Mom.
This is 9 year old Joezelle and her mother Dolores from Hopkins Village, Belize. Joezelle was born with a right ear deformity and the HHA Team performed the first stage to reconstruct her ear.
This is 11 year old Zander from Belmopan who sustained a cat scratch to his face when he was two years old. The infection it caused left his nose and upper lip scarred. The HHA Team performed the first stage of his lip and nose reconstruction and he will be visiting us again on future mission. |
