Marisol's Brand-New Feet Maria Teresa Alcocer

This is a story of a humble nine-year-old, girl who was born with a Congenital Bilateral Club Foot. Her place of birth is Bolivia, South America. She was not considered handicapped and was living a compatible normal life. Her symptoms became obvious and more of a problem as she grew. The doctors in her small town did not give her many options for a cure because her feet were left untreated. However, by her tenth birthday she met a lady who had compassion the way she looked, and thus saw the necessity to provide her with the assistance necessary to correct her deformity. She felt that it was her "mission," to correct the neglected Congenital Talipes Equinovarus, and make a great difference in her life. -C. N. Howard
