"They told us they might have to amputate his leg"

When Willy broke his leg in a bicycle accident the doctors said they might have to amputate his leg or perform a surgery his family could not afford. Operation Blessing donors paid for Willy's surgery and now he can walk, run, and play! Read Transcript


- [Narrator] When Williewrecked his bicycle,

he broke his leg badly.

His parents rushed himto the closest hospital.

- [Interpreter] At the first hospital,

no one was qualified.

They told us they mighthave to amputate his leg.

I would rather let my own leg be amputated

than see my son without a leg.

- [Child Interpreter] My leg hurts so bad.

I prayed to God to take my pain away.

- Here in Burundi, if Williewas five years old or younger,

the government would payfor 100% of his medical care

but because he's six,

it's all out of pocket for his parents.

Then the family came toKibuye Hope Hospital,

which is supported by Operation Blessing.

Some of the best doctorsin the region work here.

Instead of amputating his leg,

doctors inserted a rod into the bone.

Operation Blessing paid for the surgery.

- [Interpreter] May Godbless you for helping us.

It is truly a miracle.

- [Narrator] In a matterof just a few months.

Willie fully recovered.

- [Child Interpreter]My leg is strong again.

I can walk, run, play and even dance now.

Thank you for fixing my leg.

I feel so much better.

May God bless you forwhat you have done for me.
