(gentle music)

- [Narrator] Emory doesn't run and play

like the other children.

(speaking in foreign language)

- [Translator] My son has bowed legs.

He falls all the time.

He is always by my side, andI often have to carry him.

I went to the hospital for help,

but leg surgery would costmore than I could ever afford.

It pains me to see him struggle,

and know there is nothing I can do.

- [Narrator] When a neighbortold her about a hospital

supported by Operation Blessing,

Emory's mom reached out to us.

Soon, we arranged andpaid for his surgery.

It's been just a few months,

but Emory's already up and running.

- [Translator] When I openthe door in the morning,

he rushes out to play.

His legs are much better, andhe's so full of energy now.

I'm so happy to see him playing.

As Emory gets olderand looks at his scars,

I will tell him of his legs andhow brave and strong he was.

I will also tell him ofthe people who helped him.

You've given him a normal life.

My heart is filled with gratitude.

Thank you!
