Today we have a special update on 13-year-old Andrew, who was only six years old when he was kidnapped for the purpose of being trafficked in East Africa. He was badly injured by his trafficker, and was saved just before he died, but he was told he would never walk again due to the extent of the injury. O.U.R. Aftercare has followed Andrew’s healing journey with the incredible doctors and nurses who gave him his best chance to walk again. Andrew’s initial surgery in the U.S. happened in February of this year and was very successful. Since then, he has celebrated his birthday, made new friends, played outside, and is excelling in school! Recently, he had the opportunity to take horse riding lessons, which were graciously donated and arranged by @MetropolitanEquestrianTeam. O.U.R. collaborates with NGOs all around the nation to help serve children in the best way possible. We are excited to share more in the future about our partnership with MET and how we have been collaborating to develop an equine therapy program for survivors. While learning to ride the horse, Andrew’s infectious smile brightened the room around him. We are so inspired by his strength and hope for the future! See link in profile too see the full video.
