Reporter: CARITO WAS

NINE WHEN HE WAS REMOVED

FROM AN ABUSIVE HOME AND

PLACED HERE BY CBN'S

"ORPHANS' PROMISE." WHEN HE

ARRIVED, HE WAS WEARING A

CHEAP PAIR OF RUBBER BOOTS,

ALL HIS ALCOHOLIC FATHER HAD

BOUGHT HIM, EVEN TO PLAY

SOCCER.

WHEN CARLITO CAME, HE

NEEDED A LOT OF HELP.

HIS FEET WERE HURT AND

SWOLLEN.

Reporter: HIS FEET HURT

SO MUCH, HE HAD TO STOP ALL

PHYSICAL ACTIVITY.

WHEN THE OTHER KIDS WENT OUT

TO PLAY, HE STAYED INSIDE.

I FEEL SAD WHEN I SEE MY

FRIENDS PLAY.

AND I DON'T PLAY WITH THEM

BECAUSE OF MY FEET.

Reporter: ROSA KNEW TO

CALL HER FRIENDS AT CBN.

A DOCTOR FROM "OPERATION

BLESSING" QUICKLY CAME TO

CHECK ON CARLITO.

WE FOUND A TYPICAL INJURY

TO HIS FEET CAUSED BY

FRICTION AND MOISTURE.

THE SKIN WAS RAW, AND HE HAD

AN INFECTION, WHICH WE

TREATED.

Reporter: AND

"OPERATION BLESSING"

PROVIDED HIM WITH A NEW PAIR

OF SHOES, DOCTOR'S ORDERS.

AND NOW HE CAN RUN AND PLAY

IN SHOES THAT WON'T IRRITATE

HIS FEET.

I AM HAPPY BECAUSE NOW I

CAN PLAY FOOTBALL WITH MY

FRIENDS.

I THANK THE DOCTOR WHO

HEALED MY FEET.

THANK YOU, "OPERATION

BLESSING."
