We have been a part of a Jamaican Missionary clinic for about 6 years now. The missionary clinic we are a part of is MIND BODY AND SOUL. This ministry allows us to do Gods will and allows us to help change the lives of many less fortunate individuals. In Jamaica it is very difficult getting quality prosthetics and even patient care. This allows us to give a country proper devices to help the living standards of many individuals. We take pride in this mission to help as many people as we can to regain their entire life back. Jamaicans are very determined people and extremely appreciative for what we have been able to do for them. The atmosphere in the clinic is heartwarming while each person takes turns being casted and their leg being fit. Each patient stays at the clinic all day cheering each other and making sure that they are walking before we leave the clinic. It truly has been a blessing that has allowed us to help hundreds of people in need with no way to get care in their own country.
Previously, we have had the opportunity to change a 7 year old boys life with a prosthetic leg. This young boy was actually born without one leg and has managed to go through life for 7 years that way. He is definitely an impressive young man. He was a very quiet but had one simple request, and all he said was “I just want to walk one time.” The first time this young man tried his leg on he was able to walk! Every body was struck emotionally while he was taking his first steps. He started by simply walking with one crutch and soon dropped it to walk without.
