“I don’t know how to express it.
I never expected these surprises in my life. May God bless you all, Angel members, for the love, support, and care you have given us.
We are all thankful and we wish you the very best.”
Diana’s Mama
These are words from a thankful mother during our 2023 mission to Arusha, Tanzania. Her daughter, Diana, received a hip replacement, but had traveled to Arusha Lutheran Medical Centre by bus from Dar es Salaam, which was over 10 hours away. Diana’s mother was concerned for her daughter. Riding on the bus for that distance is difficult when you are in your best health. How was she able to travel that far just after surgery?
This is where our Angel volunteers stepped in. Together, Kathy Link, Pablo Ortega, and Camilla Ward coordinated a private van for Diana and her mother, along with another patient, to travel home in safety and comfort. Both families were overcome with emotion. In just a week, two seemingly impossible tasks-receiving surgery and returning home, had been accomplished.
Our Angels not only provide life-changing joint replacement surgery, but also help to increase our team’s ability to provide individualized patient care, such as transportation, footwear, supplementary items such as shoe-lifts, and other touches that help in recovery.
