Mohammad, a six-year-old from North Gaza, who had an above-knee amputation and an amputation in the upper right extremity due to an accident when he was a baby. With the efforts of the PCRF mental health team and his family, Mohammad started kindergarten; his enthusiasm also increased to attend kindergarten after meeting other amputee children and sharing their stories and experiences with one another during the Third Camp Ability for amputees this summer as he began to engage and integrate with other children. Mohammed obtained two lower limbs in cooperation with Hamad Rehabilitation Hospital. During the last visit from the U.S. limb specialist in cooperation with the specialists at Hamad Hospital, the specialists re-evaluated and modified Mohammed's prosthetic limbs. During the follow-up and reassessment visit, Mohammad’s mother expressed that the care Mohammad received from the PCRF affected not only him but the whole family significantly.
