Darley is 10 years old and lives in Sipi, Chocó, Colombia. During a fight between the Army and the ELN, when Darley was 3 years old, an explosive fell into his house. As a result of the injuries, his right leg had to be amputated above the knee.
Darley has been selected as a beneficiary of the childcare program of United for Colombia Foundation and has been receiving maintenance of his prosthesis since 2017. The past October, Darley received a new prosthesis based on his actual tallness and weight.
For Christmas, United for Colombia made possible Darley´s dream: have a bicycle to train to become a cyclist…he is on his path to make it true!

Your support is essential in order to provide Darley with comprehensive rehabilitation treatment to allow him to live and play as any other child his age.
Thanks for your support!
