This Child Could Only Crawl. Now Watch Her Walk!


Six-year-old Mekdes Tesfaye, who suffers from cerebral palsy, takes joyful steps thanks to free therapy and an orthotic device provided through the Brothers of Good Works’ Community-Based Rehabilitation program in Addis Ababa.

This life-changing Catholic program is providing new freedoms and bringing great joy to kids like Mekdes through the generous support of Cross Catholic Outreach and its benefactors. Mekdes is a reminder that you can make a difference by supporting Catholic missions like this through Cross Catholic Outreach.
