Recruiting Local Resources, Helping Children Worldwide


With her first 'patient', Kenan Malkic.
 A boy in Iraq was playing with his friends when he kicked a bottle lying in the street. Not really a bottle, but a bomb, created by hateful people. In a flash he lost a leg, an arm, an eye and, it seemed, his childhood. Elissa Montanti, a woman from New York, has given these things back to him - not because she is powerful or highly-educated or wealthy, but because she cares enough to find a way.
Thanks to David Kostecki of Honolulu, Hawaii for sharing the spotlight 60 Minutes recently shined on Ms. Montanti.
