Rolando originally started his clubfoot treatment in Chontales, Nicaragua but received casts that were too short (improper Ponseti) that did not completely correct his clubfoot. Although the miraclefeet-supported clinic in Managua is far away from his hometown in Region Autonoma del Atlantica Sur, his parents say the long trip is worth it because of the quality of treatment they receive from Dr. Sequeira and Dr. Flores. Rolando’s corrected feet are especially important for them because they are in a very rural farming area where walking is the main mode of transportation. He loves to run around with the animals on the farm, particularly the pigs. His father is very grateful that his son is able to walk and play. Thank you for helping us treat children like Rolando.
