COMPASSIONATE CARE FROM A FAMILY BUSINESS

At Huse Artificial Limb & Brace there is a personal connection to each customer. This is something you will not find in other prosthetic facilities in South Florida. Together they have three exceptional children. Miles travels to St. Aird, Haiti, twice each year to provide much-needed artificial limbs for the Haitian population. Miles is part of a Christian medical mission team, providing all levels of medical care for the underserved people of Haiti. His children have accompanied him on several mission trips to Haiti and assisted in giving medications and vaccinations. The medical care they provide in Haiti comes from a heartfelt desire to make a real impact on the quality of an amputee’s life. Life in Haiti is hard, and, unlike the United States, there is no sympathy for the disabled in Haiti. It is survival of the fittest, and providing a free prosthesis to an amputee allows them to actively function within the Haitian community. Miles provides his professional services, along with prosthetic components, without compensation. He returns every six months to Haiti and looks forward to the overflowing appreciation from the people he treats. For example, a young woman suffered a traumatic amputation during the earthquake in Haiti many years ago. After several years, she still had not received a prosthesis. She lived several miles from the clinic and was brought there by her sister on a bicycle. The day after she received her new leg prosthesis from Miles, she walked all the way to the clinic (a two-hour walk!) on her new leg prosthesis to show her gratitude by bringing Miles a homemade dish of breadfruit and bergamot.
