THE STORY FOR THE DAY is about a young woman by the name of Maria Jose, now fourteen who Janet, I and others have been providing support, living assistance and obtaining much needed orthopedic medical treatment.

I have been following Maria Jose with my camera and my heart since I first learned of her limb condition in 2015. Then aged 8, Maria Jose was one of many children living in rural villages throughout Nicaragua who suffered from both malnutrition and bone deformities of her hip and lower limbs.
