Creating a Safe and Accessible Home
Meet Lionida, a loving mother and grandmother in Batey El Soco in the Dominican Republic. Despite battling severe arthritis in both knees, she runs a small convenience store from her home and cares for her grandchildren. Thanks to the OWS team and local workers, her home has been transformed with ramps, a smooth kitchen floor, and a patio, giving her the gift of mobility and the ability to enjoy life with her family. Lionida is also set to receive a double knee replacement when our new, state-of-the-art surgery center opens in 2024, promising a brighter future ahead.
