To provide corrective surgeries at La Vida Surgical Center in Portoviejo, Ecuador.
A child with a skeletal malformation is challenged to lead a normal life. His disability affects his capacity to play, interact with peers and go to school. His self-esteem can be affected and his opportunities for being a contributing member of his society are limited. After surgical correction, it is heartwarming to see the smile on a childs face, and the gratefulness and joy of his parents.
Many adults are affected by the pain of joint arthritis. Providing joint replacement surgery will give relief to patients of the older generation allowing them to better enjoy their senior years.
Many are affected by the limitations of partial vision due to cataracts. A team of ophthalmologists is dedicated to providing relief for these patients with state-of-the art equipment and treatment.
In 2008 BMM began a joint project with the Missionary Alliance Church and Samaritan's Purse to build a much-needed surgery center in Portoviejo. This center serves people of all ages who have limited financial resources. It provides volunteer doctors an opportunity to care for this underserved population. La Vida is an outpatient surgery center which is well equipped to provide excellent orthopaedic surgical care with an emphasis on demonstrating God's love and compassion to all who come.
To provide Customized Wheelchairs for Special Needs Children
Severely handicapped children who cannot ambulate are unable to be involved in family activities. Our goal is to provide mobility for the child, bringing him from the bedroom to the dining room table. He will then be able to participate in family activities, outings and have more opportunities for development.
Cost to provide a chair is $150* Not only are all donations tax-deductible, but more importantly, they will significantly improve the lives of those receiving this medical care.
CERTIFICATE OF GIFT PROGRAM: Donations may be made to honor an individual. A donation to BMM is a gift of love and is appropriate for most special occasions such as birthdays, special holidays, memorials, in lieu of flowers and many personal and corporate events.
