Summer 2024 John was asked if he would help a young girl walk again after losing her leg in the war in the Middle East. He was totally on board.
The little girl was here until yesterday when John fit her with her final prostheses. Her foster family says she arrived on crutches, emotionally shut down. She no longer needs crutches and runs and kicks her soccer ball. She will be flying back to her family soon with a better future.

John will miss his conversation and negotiations with Baylasan.

An article we are proud to share:

Good afternoon Mr. Hattingh,

My name is Clare Hernandez, and I am the Development & Communications Specialist at Arlington Free Clinic. We just spoke on the phone. Our communications team is working on our annual spring newsletter, and one of our articles highlights our network of orthopedic specialists and the generous services that they provide to our patients.

Below is the article:

Danny's Journey: Overcoming Obstacles, Embracing Opportunities"

In August 2018, "Danny's" life took an unexpected turn when a motorcycle accident resulted in the loss of his leg above the knee at the young age of 20. Despite facing such a daunting challenge, Danny's resilience and determination have been nothing short of remarkable.

The Shirlington Employment and Education Center (SEEC), a local organization that helps day laborers find employment, had been attempting to assist Danny in repairing his prosthetic leg – which had become ill-fitting and painful to the point that he had given up on wearing it in favor of crutches. Unable to find an affordable prosthetic clinic, SEEC referred Danny to AFC where he was seen promptly by Dr. Felasfa Wodajo, an orthopedic oncologist volunteer. Dr. Wodajo quickly joined Danny's care team to assess what would be involved in fixing the existing prosthesis, but ultimately referred Danny to his colleague John Hattingh, a skilled prosthetist, who provided him with a brand-new prosthetic leg.

During a follow-up appointment to assess Danny's adjustment to his new prosthesis, Hattingh surprised Danny by offering him a custom-made running blade, a curved-shaped prosthetic limb made of carbon fiber used by amputee runners. This gesture left Danny speechless: he had shared during a prior appointment that he used to be a runner, and Hattingh's gift inspired him to sign up and begin training for his first marathon scheduled for the fall in DC.

But Danny's journey didn't end with acquiring his new prostheses. Recognizing the importance of mobility in Danny's life, AFC's staff team, including our Community Resource Navigator Emely Marchena and Family Nurse Practitioner Terry McManus, are assisting him in obtaining a driver's license. Through their efforts and connections with the Driver Rehabilitation Center of Excellence (DRCE), an organization Terry is himself familiar with as a person living with paraplegia, Danny received at a generous discount the necessary evaluation and training to safely operate a vehicle – his DMV road test is scheduled for next month.

Within just a couple of weeks of trading in his crutches for a new prosthetic leg, Danny secured a job in a local restaurant. Previously, every opportunity seemed to vanish when employers tried to envision him working on crutches. With his newfound independence, Danny is not only able to work but also live a life of freedom and empowerment.


Best,
Clare

Lord, I heed your teachings, Lord I live my life the best way I can to honor you. Lord I beg you please spare the animals, save them from the abuse, the neglect, the pain and the confusion we humans bring to their lives.

Lord take them back to your safe place, their pain and suffering teaches nothing to the humans that do this.
Spare them Lord.

I know I ask for so much Lord , but please Lord., I humbly ask you to bestow your mercy on them and send a guardian angel to remove them from Satans clutches.

Glory be to God the father.

Amen🙏
