Today, December 3rd, is International Day of People With Disabilities - a very important day to us here at A Leg To Stand On. Every one of our patients is a person with a disability, and it's our mission to see that they not only receive the prosthetic limb, orthotic device, mobility aid or corrective surgery that they need, but to help them gain the opportunities that mobility grants them.
Refan is a four-year-old boy from Indonesia who loves going to school, dancing and playing bongos, and aspires to be an airplane pilot. At first glance, he's like any other four-year-old boy. But without intervention from ALTSO three years ago when Refan lost his leg in a motorbike accident, he wouldn't be able to do any of these things.
Join us this month to promote inclusion and health for people with disabilities all over the world - including ALTSO's children in Asia!
