Maynor is a 32-year-old Honduran husband and father who is skilled in masonry, carpentry and plumbing. He had an accident while riding his motorcycle. A vehicle did not stop at a traffic light and hit him. Maynor was taken to a medical center in his hometown, and they recommended amputation of his left leg due to an injured tibia. "I did not want to lose a part of my body," Maynor remembers thinking during the experience.
He did have surgery to repair his tibia, but that surgery resulted in an infection. Due to the high cost of surgery in Honduras, Maynor could not afford the follow-up surgeries to clear the infection. Due to his situation, Maynor not only felt physically unwell but also suffered from depression because he could not support his family.
Maynor learned about One World Surgery through a friend who saw OWS on social media. After 7 months of terrible health news, he finally heard the best news from OWS! They scheduled him to come for evaluation when U.S. doctors were on-site during a medical mission.
Since Maynor's initial evaluation he has had 3 surgeries and 13 follow-up appointments with OWS. The hardware from his first tibia surgery was removed and he had second stage Masquelet surgery.
"My life has taken total turn in a positive way. Before OWS, I was filled with sadness. Now my children see me with a better attitude. I can walk and carry out activities of daily life. And I am back to work! I am so grateful to everyone at OWS. Thank you for bringing me back to life because that is exactly what OWS has done."
