We are proud to announce the official launch of Pediatric Orthotic Global Outreach, otherwise known as POGO. For over two decades, Gabe and Jodi Beversluis have been on a mission to transform the lives of children through pediatric orthotic care.
Today, as a recognized 501(c)(3) non profit organization, POGO is working to improve independence for children in disadvantaged and underserved regions of the world who are struggling with physical disability.
POGO currently works closely to provide free orthotic care at Pediatric Orthotics Services in Negril, Jamaica. Patients arrive at our clinic and are assessed to determine the most appropriate care. Our model consists of re-using and customizing pediatric bracing which has been used and when out-grown, and donated by families in the USA.
In light of the recent devastation of Hurricane Melissa, POGO is mobilizing to provide emergency supplies and aid to clinic families and the community of Negril. Many of the families and organizations the clinic serves have been greatly impacted by the path of Hurricane Melissa. Our founding members will be traveling in coming weeks to deliver necessary aid, as POGO seeks to support the community, not just the individual.
If you are looking for a way to support those impacted by Hurricane Melissa, we are seeking community donations to purchase and deliver lifesaving supplies and care to the community we serve.
