Brendon was in need of bilateral knee replacements when our team first met him in 2024. His left knee was successfully replaced in 2024. His right knee was a complicated case that required specific equipment and was replaced during our latest mission to General Santos City this summer. Thank you, Brendon, for continuing to share your story with us.
Brendon before surgery
“I am really grateful to have the opportunity to undergo surgery on both of my knees. My left knee was done in 2024 and now, finally, the right knee was replaced this year. I’d like to say that during my wait for my second operation, I was enduring so much pain. It was truly agonizing. I can now say that it is finally over.
I thank God for this blessing through Operation Walk Los Angeles. I’d like to say a special thank you to Dr. John Kumar, my surgeon, Dr. Nate Heckmann, Trish Lindsey RN, and the entire Operation Walk Los Angeles team. God bless you all; may you all have a life blessed with your family and all good things.
This is truly one of the happiest days of my life. You have changed my world.”
