Subject: Need a Prosthetic Foot in Peru


Hello
 
I recently graduated from Penn State university with a Phd in Architectural
engineering and am currently doing volunteer work in Peru for 9 months.
Just the other day my wife and I met a family who´s daughter was hit by a
large bus and they had to amputate her foot, just above the ankle. I was
wondering if there were any organizations that I might be able to go through
that could help this 6 year old girl, as the family could barely afford
crutches for thier 6 year old daughter.
 
If you have any information that would help us out we would greately
appreciate it.
 
Sincerly
Michael Pulaski
