Justino Leon Recovering

Justino Leon has returned to Damien House as he recovers after having his right leg amputated. Leon is in good spirits as he patiently waits for the pain to fade away. Damien House is hoping to raise the thousands of dollars needed to buy a prosthetic so Leon can walk again. We humbly ask for your prayers that Leon recovers quickly, and if possible, any financial contributions that could help Leon to realize his dream of walking again.

Volunteers Brighten Up the Walls of Damien

Volunteers Elizabeth Navarro and Francesca Anzola, American exchange students from the Universidad Espiritu Santo (UEES), are in the process of painting the maps of Ecuador and the United States on the walls of Damien House. While getting to know the patients, the girls tried to get an idea where they were from, but had no way of visualizing the different regions within Ecuador. They imagined that the patients felt the same way upon hearing that they were from Washington or New York. In addition to decorating the walls, the volunteers hope that the maps can provide a better understanding of the geographies of both countries. Everyone at Damien House is grateful for the creativity and hard work that the volunteers bring to Damien House.
