Wes had the great honor and opportunity to lend a hand to some of the most determined and strong children one could ever meet. There are many children growing up with difficulties that most people will never experience. Something we all take for granted is the ability to get up and walk without thought or hesitation. There are countless children that grow up needing assistance with this ability. Unfortunately pediatric orthopedics seems to lack the desire to provide for the needs of small children in certain respects.
Small children need small tools. In this particular case these awesome kids are trying to walk using canes which are much too large and heavy to be of quality use for them. Wes built custom sets of canes for these children that are small, lightweight, and proportional to their individual size. The smallest canes were no taller than a ruler. The most incredible thing was the chance to see the smiles on their faces and see that the canes would truly work and benefit the kids. Their strength and determination far exceeds what most of us feel are challenges in our daily lives. Wes humbly thanks these children for the chance to meet them. Children are our future in all we do and we must do all we can to help when we can.
