Happy Easter to all our supporters and friends around the world - we are so thankful for you!
They might not be allowed to at home but at The Plaster House our patients sometimes get to eat in bed! All part of the healing and after-surgery care.
The Plaster House is striving for sustainability onsite and having our own greenhouse and kitchen garden is a step towards this vision! Growing our own vegetables helps us ensure fresh food packed with vitamins for our patients, which all adds up to healthy bodies strong enough for surgery and recovery.
Paulo broke his leg when he was young and it didn’t heal properly, the bones were not aligned. As he continued to grow he had more difficulty walking and experienced more and more pain. For a 13 year old boy passionate about football, receiving corrective surgery to straighten his leg was a dream come true. He was determined to do everything he could to help the healing and rehabilitation process. After weeks of ambulation exercises and strengthen, seeing him running around with a ball in The Plaster House playground is very rewarding!
