Today, on Earth Day, we honor the landscapes, environments, and communities our patients call home — places on this Earth that feed their sense of joy, belonging, and wellbeing.

Happy Birthday, Earth 🌱

We love to kick it ⚽ with Ayush, who's back on the soccer field and always close to our hearts.

With support from the @DellFdn, we will grow from serving approximately 300 patients annually to more than 2,000 each year in Uganda 🇺🇬 and Tanzania 🇹🇿 — an increase of nearly 600%.

This means more patients like Gloria will be able to walk, run, grow, and thrive 🧡

[ReSurge International @ReSurge]

This Spring, we move like Gloria 💃 full of joy, movement, and newfound confidence.

Now, she can walk, run, jump, and play soccer. And she has returned to school, no longer limited by pain or by the hurtful words of classmates who once bullied her.
