This is what a broken neck looks like:<\/p>\n
\n
About seven months ago, a 17-year old young man came to us after an injury. \u00a0What you see above is his actual x-ray. \u00a0 He had been in a tree, and fallen quite a distance. \u00a0He had a fractured femur, but worse than that he had a broken neck that had caused paralysis. \u00a0He could not move his arms or legs, and only had some preserved sensation in his extremities. \u00a0We surgically repaired his leg and his neck, and he was in the hospital for one month recovering. \u00a0Sadly though, even at the time of his discharge, he was barely moving his fingers and toes. \u00a0We were unsure if he would ever walk again.<\/p>\n
Recently, the young man returned for his follow-up. \u00a0Praise the Lord that he is now almost fully recovered. \u00a0He has almost full strength in his arms and hands, and can run on his own two legs. \u00a0A paralytic healed! \u00a0Here he is pictured below with Dr. Anderson.<\/p>\n
\n
The best part of the story is this. \u00a0This young man was quite poor. \u00a0He was unable to pay for his care. \u00a0But because of generous donors to the Benevolent Fund, his surgeries and post-operative care were paid in full. \u00a0Because people like you care enough to give, we were able to medically care for him. \u00a0By God’s grace, he is healed and planning to return to school later this year.<\/p>\n
Help us treat more patients like this! \u00a0Our Benevolent Fund relies on donors like you. \u00a0And 100% of every dollar goes to fund patient care. \u00a0We are looking for 100 donors to pledge $100 per month for the next year. \u00a0These funds will help us to cover the costs of our poorest patients. \u00a0You can set up a recurring gift through our secure site here. \u00a0God bless you!<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
