Mission:
Periodically, Dr. Turaga travels to India to operate on children born with clubfoot and vertical talus — and on adults whose feet have been reshaped by leprosy. For them, surgery is the difference between a life confined and a life in motion.
But the same need exists much closer to home.
In Seattle, men and women living without shelter face a quieter foot crisis. They can find primary care, mental health support, and follow-up clinics — but there is nowhere to turn for the part of the body that carries them through every freezing night. Without socks, shoes, or a place to wash, a small blister can turn into an infection. A cold toe can turn into frostbite. Too often, the first medical visit is an emergency room, and the only option left is amputation — and a much harder life on the other side of it.
It doesn’t have to end that way.
Funds raised through this event support two efforts, side by side:
Surgical missions in India — for children with congenital foot deformities and adults living with the long-term effects of leprosy.
A free foot care clinic in Seattle — for our unhoused neighbors, offering wound care, hygiene, warm socks, and the simple dignity of being seen.
Two communities. One purpose. Healing starts from the ground up.
