Mariana's Story
Meet Mariana, a resilient woman from Honduras whose life changed dramatically when health conditions led to an amputation earlier this year. Faced with a difficult recovery and limited access to medical resources, her dreams of walking again seemed all but lost. In a community that rallied around her, Mariana struggled with the harsh reality of her situation, feeling the weight of uncertainty as she watched her grandchildren play outside, longing to join them.
Hope arrived in the form of Steps 4 Love, and with unwavering support from Janelle Elam, Mariana received the equipment necessary to regain her mobility. Over the course of a week, the team worked closely with her, helping her learn to balance and take her first steps, reigniting the spark of joy in her heart.
Now, as Mariana begins her recovery journey, she fills her journal with hopes, dreams, and reflections on her path to healing. Each entry captures the essence of her resilience and gratitude for the kindness of strangers who believed in her. With every step she takes, Mariana is not just reclaiming her ability to walk; she is embracing a brighter future, excited to run alongside her grandchildren once more.
