Dominican Starfish Foundation hasn't added a story.
Mundo was injured in an accident 8 years ago. At first, the doctors were able to save his leg but eventually when Mundo could no longer pay for the medication to help with the swelling and inflammation, the doctor amputated his leg. So extremely sad.
We are so impressed with this man. Despite his disability, he cleans the streets in Javillar every day on his crutches. T o support himself, he has a little fruit stand. We love to see his self-reliance.
Zoe Palmer (16 yrs old) from Edmonton, Alberta has chosen to raise money to help Mundo get a new leg.
Zoe is no stranger to serving in the Dominican Republic. Her first project was when she was 12 years old and she and her sister, Gemma, then 9, spearheaded the funding for Leonida to have a new home. Leonida was then 17 with 3 children.
She has done food packs, baby packs, collected dresses for girls her age, hosted activities for children and youth in the Dominican and more. This June she will be working side-by-side with dentists as they do humanitarian dentistry in Puerto Plata.
It is Zoe's wish that when she gets to Puerto Plata in June, that she will have raised enough for Mundo to have his new leg and maybe enough to also help him with his little business.
Please open your hearts to help this deserving man. All donations qualify for a charitable tax receipt which will accompany your confirmation of donation.
