Helping Hand
Recipient: Yolany Peralta heard of our organization and came to us asking for
help. She is a 22 year old woman that struggles with two embarrassing problems
since she was just a little girl. One condition unfortunately puts Yolany in
diapers, causing her ridicule and embarrassment and causes people to turn away
from her. She also has a neurologic condition of the feet that causes
hammertoes, calluses, pain when standing or walking and unstable feet which
often times leads to sprained ankles and many other problems. The foot condition progressively worsens and
is very painful.
Helping Hand Need:
Some of Yolany’s needs were so simple but because of her and her mother’s
financial situation they have been unable to attain some of these simple
things. Yolany really needed some special orthotics, special shoes more
incontinence supplies and they needed help with food. These requests were
simple and we were happy to help.
Thoughts from Yolany:
“ I am very grateful for all that my parents have been able to help me with
growing up but after my father died it has been an even bigger struggle for my
mother and I. Thank you so much for responding to my request and providing us
with some things that we were in need of. I am so grateful, god bless all of
you.”
