A Leg Up On Life

Your faithful gifts helped to provide new legs to Maria & Zainab

Maria and Zainab’s parents were overjoyed when they were born to find they had twin girls. They felt like truly God had given them a double blessing in giving them two beautiful and healthy daughters.

But shortly after they were born and began to grow and walk, Maria and Zainab’s parents noticed that their daughters’ legs appeared to be bowed. They sought medical advice and after seeing several doctors, were told that Maria and Zainab did indeed have severely bowed legs. The doctors told the girls parents that they would need corrective surgery to help fix the twins legs and without the surgery, the girls may never be able to walk normal or without pain.

Maria and Zainab’s parents left the doctor’s feeling defeated. Although they worked hard to provide for their family, they knew that they could never afford the expensive surgeries that their daughters would need.

But that is where you came in! Over the course of the past several years, through your gifts to the Critical Medical Needs Ministry at Heaven’s Family, you have helped to fund multiple surgeries to correct Maria and Zainab’s bowed legs. Because of you, the girls recently received their very last corrective surgery and now are able to walk pain free and worry free!

Maria and Zainab’s parents can’t believe the kindness you have shown them. They continue to believe that God has blessed them with two beautiful and healthy daughters, and now also praise God for his goodness in providing life changing surgeries for their twin girls.

Thank you for giving new legs to Maria & Zainab!
