A Good Deed Goes A Long Way

Tour guide Eduardo Chavarria.

More than a year ago Eduardo Chavarria suffered a fractured upper arm. The Costa Rican surgeon who performed repair surgery didn't do the job properly, leaving Mr. Chavarria with a marked defect.

It turns out that Mr. Chavarria, who works as a tour guide in Costa Rica, noticed a hearing aid on the floor of a hotel lobby, while he was working. When he found out the name of the owner, he got in his car and drove the 800 miles to her location with her tour group to return it.



After spending a few minutes with him and learning about his situation, Susan Perrone was moved to undertake a kind deed of her own. But she was unaware of how difficult it would be to find a surgeon willing to repair Eduardo's arm. She had no luck when she contacted several different charitable organizations.

But, eventually, an email from Dr. Brad Bruns of Arizona Bone And Joint Institute brought good news. He would do the surgery, and he wasn't located that far from where she lived. So, the surgery was completed more than a week ago and he has already returned home.

How is he feeling about his good fortune? Eduardo responded, "I wasn't expecting someone who you don't know would try to help you. It's unbelievable sometimes people from outside are closer than your own family." Oh, and by the way, Ms. Perrone and her family are planning to visit Eduardo in the summer of 2015.
