When Victoria Salcedo Portocarrero, 14, was six years old she lost both arms and her left leg when a metal pole she was playing with outside her home in Guyaquil, Ecuador touched a high-voltage electric wire. She was introduced to Shaun and Christina Myers of Ogden in 2005 when the couple was in Ecuador for humanitarian work. The couple helped Victoria get to Utah and Shriners Hospital for Children agreed to cover the cost of the limbs. Victoria was first fitted with prosthetics four years ago and has returned several times for her limbs to be replaced or refitted.
