Her 'Why':  My second son, Tomas, was born with Clubfoot, that is a common deformity of the bones and joints in the foot that is seen in newborns. We where lucky enough to have access to prime medical care and excellent doctors that took care of Tomas, fixing his condition. I am very happy to say that Tomas is today a very healthy young boy, competing in National tennis competitions. However, during our 5 years journey to full mobility recovery for Tomas, we met many others that were not so lucky. I became fully aware of the huge inequities people in Ecuador face in access to medical care. Recovering his mobility has been life-changing for Tomas, and I want to do whatever I can to help people with less privilege to have the same opportunities. I met Dave through a mutual friend who invited me to join ROMP´s Board of Directors. From the first time I met him and the team of ROMP Ecuador, it was clear to me that I had to get involved and support the incredible work they do!

Favorite ROMP Moment: My favorite ROMP moment was during a mission in Ecuador, where I witnessed the moment a young lady took her first steps with her new prosthesis. Her family was there for support, and they were very happy and grateful to the team.  It was such a moving moment where I felt the sense of purpose and the magnitude of the work ROMP does.
