Medical and Dental Help for our Children

It’s been an exciting few hours!  As many of you know we’ve been trying very hard for the past year to get surgical and dental care for some of our children.  Miguel has severely swollen tonsils, Juan Jose and Carlos have major tooth decay in most of their teeth, and Carlos needs surgery due to his cerebral palsy.

This morning I contacted a few friends at the Shalom Foundation (www.theshalomfoundation.org) and almost immediately got responses back regarding medical and dental teams that are coming.   Already, the Shalom Foundation has put me in contact with a dentist that is coming in February and hopefully we will be able to get their teeth extracted (They will need to be under general anesthesia due to the amount of work that needs to be done.)

But the excitement doesn’t stop there!  In addition to this, Laura Hernon, founder of Link For Health (www.linkforhealth.org) has profiled our children on their website to raise support for them and already she has said they are making progress in supporting Carlos and Miguel!  Incredible!  What a blessed morning it’s been!  She has also profiled our Children’s Home on our website that you can see here: http://www.linkforhealth.org/2011/01/hope-for-tomorrow

This is all very exciting news and it’s wonderful to see how people and organizations can join together to help each other.

I’ll keep you posted on updates as they come along.
