His Story & Why We Show Up - Part1/3
Some stories stay with you forever. This is one of them.
Waheed traveled over 6,000 miles to come to PPP after not walking for more than a year. As a child, he endured injuries no one—especially someone his age—should ever have to face. While walking through a war zone, Waheed lost his eye, arm, and leg.
Children should be worrying about school, sports, and play—not survival.
When Waheed arrived in the U.S., he received a prosthetic arm, leg, and eye. Shortly after, he came through our doors with one goal: to move again.
We are heartbroken that children like Waheed have to face challenges like this—but we are deeply honored to be a place where healing, strength, and hope can begin. At PPP, our mission is simple: help you get moving again, no matter the circumstances.
This is Waheed’s story. And it’s only just beginning.
