The Haitian Amputee Mothers Alliance was founded last year to provide treatment for women who lost limbs in the Jan. 12, 2010, earthquake. The nonprofit Village of Vision for Haiti Foundation founded the community of Lamardelle, where it provides women with support, treatment and artificial limbs. The photos are by Sandra Wong Geroux, a photographer who documented efforts to get the women, some of whom must continue to care for children, back to normal lives.
