Child #135 - Melanie Ramos was brought to Helping Kids in Ecuador's attention from an Ecuadorian Friend who resides in La Libertad. She has a condition called Loeffler's which affects the lungs and the heart. She is also experiencing blood problems which require her to take iron and vitamins every day. This condition also affects the cornea in her eyes. She needed to be fitted with special lenses which were provided by HKIE and because her family is extremely poor they could not afford to purchase the vitamins and iron that she is required to take every day. She has another appointment in Guayaquil at Roberto Gilbert Hospital on the 23rd with a specialist to determine what else can be done to help out this adorable 3 year old. We will keep you updated as to Melanie's condition.
