HURT

Carol Guzy

The Washington Post

Tommy Foday had both his arms cut by rebels because it was known he worked as a government driver to support his two wives and six children. A proud man, he now needs help to bathe and cannot even wipe away his own tears. Muctarr Jalloh, who has only one arm himself, helps him at the Staten Island Hotel which donated rooms for them to live in during the months they would be participating in rehab and getting their prosthetic limbs.
