Man Who Lost a Leg Walks Again Thanks to Community Good Will
Francisco Flores loved his landscaping job. For a decade, he worked outdoors — and on his feet.
Then, tragically, a serious infection cost the uninsured man the lower half of his right leg. For the past six months, Flores has been wheelchair-bound. That is, until he reached out to NBC10 Responds and Telemundo62 Responde with a plea for help.
Soon, he was hooked up with Dr. Ron Renzi, a podiatrist in Philadelphia, and John Izak, a prosthetist in Trevose, who agreed that Flores needed help as soon as possible if he wanted to walk again.
"The delay in care will affect people. It’s not only depressing but it’s depressing physiologically," Izak, who works for a company called Orthologix, said. "So your heart and everything goes and you get more debilitated."
Most of the components of Flores's new prosthetic limb were donated by a non-profit called "Limbs for Life."
Soon, Flores was undergoing hours of physical therapy, and eventually the big day came when he was fitted for his new leg. Now, he's walking, slowly but surely.
It'll take months to get used to it, the doctors said.
"Muchisimas gracis por todo!" Flores said as he grew emotional over his luck.

White House Invite Eagles to June Event, Some Not Going
The Philadelphia Eagles have been invited to celebrate their Super Bowl win at The White House in June, but not every player plans to visit with President Donald Trump.
The Trump Administration on Thursday formally acknowledged the invitation for a June 5th event at The White House.
"President Trump looks forward to welcoming the Philadelphia Eagles to the White House on June 5th to celebrate their Super Bowl LII win," White House Deputy Press Secretary Lindsay Walters said.
The team hasn't commented on the formal invite, but said in April that they would go.
"We...view this not only as an opportunity to be recognized for our on-field achievements, but also as an opportunity to engage in productive dialogue...," a spokesperson said at the time.
Not everyone will walk into 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, however.
Several of the team's players including safety Malcolm Jenkins and defensive end Chris Long are outspoken critics of President Trump and his administration's policies around criminal justice and immigration. Long opted out of a 2017 White House visit when he won a Super Bowl LI with the New England Patriots.
Jenkins told NBC10 on Thursday that he'll skip a meeting with President Trump, but will travel with the team to Washington, D.C.
"At this point, I'm not interested in any discussions on anything right now just with the climate that's been going on in The White House," Jenkins said at a charity event he organized in Camden, New Jersey.
"From a team standpoint, some guys have dreamed, you know, of being able to win a championship and take a visit to The White House and we're not trying to deny that to anybody. There's also a lot of guys who feel passionate about not going and so you have to try to find a balance that's fair for everybody," he said.
Jenkins silently protested racial inequality in the criminal justice system during performances of the National Anthem before Eagles games by raising a fist in the air. Trump repeatedly blasted NFL protests as players raised fists and took knees before kickoff.
The 30-year-old has met with lawmakers and recently held forums with district attorney candidates around the country with the hope of elevating those with progressive policies on law and order.
It's not just players who have negative views of Trump. Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie reportedly isn't a fan.
The New York Times, citing recordings of a meeting of owners and players in response to Trump's rhetoric about the demonstrations, quoted Lurie describing Trump's presidency as "disastrous."

Arrest Made in Killing of PSU Student at Philly Hookah Bar
A 26-year-old man has been arrested in connection with the death of a Penn State student who was shot after an argument outside a Philadelphia hookah lounge.
Police say Julius Scott is not charged with the actual shooting death of 23-year-old Dominique Oglesby but with weapons offenses, including possessing a weapon as a former convict.
Oglesby, who was set to graduate this spring, was shot in the back after a dispute with a woman inside the Galaxy West Bar & Grill on March 18.
Her father and grandfather, who went to the location after learning of the dispute, were shot in a leg and arm when the dispute continued outside.
Police didn't reveal Scott's role in the killing or say what led investigators to him.
No attorney information is listed for Scott.
