Across the globe, the vast majority of patients with scoliosis that go on to require surgery, are female.

In the Dominican Republic, any child with a physical deformity is often ostracized and at times, not allotted an opportunity for education.

Females who are afflicted are not considered marriage-worthy.

Every year we have a reunion of all previous patients operated on by POP.

That is where we bear the fruits of our labor.

Children who once came to us feeling dejected and a shadow of themselves are now active members of society.

They are happy, vibrant, and pursuing an education.

Your donations allow us to do this transformative work.
