Kleider is happy with his new life!

By Maria Camila Posada Abad | Project Leader

Waiting for a new beginning
Waiting for a new beginning

¨Thank you for giving me this chance to live again¨ said Kleider when he got his prosthesis. 

Kleider is a fisherman and farmer from Chocó, he is 34 years old and lost his leg when a drunk police man shot him in his leg. Since he lived so far from the nearest hospital he didn´t arrive in time and the doctors had to amputate his leg because it was infected.

He is the only economical support for his kids and family so he needs to be able to move and work for his family. But now, thanks to you Kleider can walk again because you made this dream possible. 

Now, with your donations Kleider has a new leg and can work again to give to his children and family the education and life they deserve. You gave this father a new chance in life and we thank you for that.

With your donatios Kleider is walkin again, is independent, happy and can do what he loves the most in life, fishing. This dad can support his family again, play with his kids and continue being a role model for a lot of people.

We would like to sincerely thank you for your help and invite you to share this beautiful and amazing story with your friends and family, for them to know that in our hands we have the solution to help more people and kids to have a new beggining.

 

Thank you again, 

The Mahavir Kmina Team.

Walking again!
Walking again!
