Mary Grace Artillo caught our attention a few years ago as she tried to play with the children. Her wooden prosthetic was broken and it was hard for her to run! In April 2008 we were able to bring her to Australia to have the little piece of bone removed from the stump.

Dr. Paul Pincus was so kind to Mary Grace and the staff of the Wesley Hospital in Brisbane, were all very accommodating. Stuart Crampton at BPO.  made a new prosthesis for the little girl and she was so happy to go home with her new leg. Now she can run and play just like the other kids.. Thank you so much to all who contributed to this life changing deed.

Mary Grace is doing well and her fond memories of Australia will linger on for the rest of her life. All the toys and gifts she recieved are treasured items and her confidence has multiplied.
