Of the 250,000 people injured in the Haiti earthquake, 150,000 lost limbs, or will lose limbs from infection. Haiti amputees face dire quest for mobility devices. There s no reliable count so far, but even the most conservative disaster workers say more than 75 people a day have lost limbs since the quake, either because of initial injuries or, because of secondary infections & gangrene. The A Step Forward for Haiti project bring kids together to donate new and used crutches, paint them with messages of love and encouragement for the children in Haiti. It s an artistic expression combined with answering a huge need. This is the single greatest medical need in Haiti, and with a new crutch, a life can move forward!

All decorated crutches as well as all funds raised will be used to strengthen Physicians for Peace s work to improve world health. www.physiciansforpeace.org
