Prosthetic Leg for Mamo Rodrigo
At 6 years old and playing near his village in the high mountains of Colombia, Tezhuna spiritual leader Mamo Rodrigo lost his right leg above the knee when he stepped on a landmine set by a guerrilla warfare movement. It was not until 2019, at 30 years of age, that Mamo Rodrigo received his first orthotic prosthesis.
A modern prosthesis is supposed to last for 3 years. Now 6 years later, Mamo Rodrigo has the chance to receive a state-of-the-art, new prosthetic leg during the Tezhuna's 2025 visit to Philadelphia. The clinical team in Philadelphia is confirmed and ready to provide the new prosthesis at cost ($10,000, instead of $35,000).
Donate today to support Mamo Rodrigo with a new prosthetic leg that will empower life-changing upgrades to his health and to his ability to continue serving as an Earth Steward, active Spiritual Elder, and transformational International Teacher.
You can make a difference for this elder who is caring for the whole planet!
And please share this opportunity with others.
