115TH CHILD HELPED BY HKIE..

3/29/2016

0 Comments

 
This is Dayana (pictured here with Dra Mariela Siguencia). Dayana who is 13 is in need a new prosthetic eye...the one she was originally given several years ago was too large and did not match her other eye.

Thanks to Dra Siguencia from Hospital Del Rio in Cuenca she will receive an eye that fits and matches the color of her other eye.

​Dra Siquencia gave HKIE a generous discount for the prosthetic eye.


Also, Dayana received an eye exam and her first pair glasses.

Dayana and her mother are very grateful to the HKIE donors for making such a dramatic improvement in the quality of Dayana life!

We want to thank Steve and Mary Johnston for bringing Viviana to the attention of HKIE
Mom, her Tia and Vivi were excited that HKIE and Dr. Pablo were able to provide this surgery that was simply not attainable on their own.

​Thank you HKIE supporters!

113TH CHILD HELPED BY HKIE

3/21/2016

This is Franchesca, a little 6 year old before her surgery. Thanks to Dr. Fernando Quintana Jedermann and Dr.Pablo Javier Salamea Molina she had her first surgery this past Friday in Guayaquil to create a new ear. Franchesca had called Dr. Pablo and asked if he couldn't "please, make me pretty"! Who could refuse such a request?

Dr Quintana and Dr Pablo donated their services and HKIE paid for the discounted hospital costs.

She will receive a second surgery in a few months. Thanks to the HKIE supporters, we can continue to help these children lead normal, productive lives.
Speaking of normal, Romina was wearing a little earring in her new ear and was so very proud and happy. Those at the Salinas fundraiser were able to hear her thank you speech in which she said she was so very grateful to each and every HKIE supporter for giving her a new life. She considers you all "family" and sends kisses to everyone!

Here are a few more children helped by HKIE and Fundacion Rostros Felices on the Ibarra mission the end of February.

Pictured is Ashley who received cleft lip surgery, Dayana (pictured with her beautiful mother) who had one of two surgeries to remove the black birthmark on her face, and an after and before of Maria Isabel who also had cleft lip surgery.

As we have said before, the parents are in awe of the fact that strangers are willing to help their children have a chance for a decent life. They see their children post surgery with tears of gratitude to God, the doctors, and those who contribute to HKIE!

Thanks you HKIE supporters and the entire Fundacion Rostros Felices team!!

Romina's miracle continues......here is a picture of Romina immediately
following her second surgery to create an ear. What a huge difference!...
Imagine...being born both without ears or the ability to hear
A few months ago she had a cochlear implant surgery performed at Hospital Del Rio in Cuenca and now Romina can hear perfectly.
A huge thank goes out to Dr. Fernando Quintana Jedermann for waiving his surgical fees for both surgeries! HKIE paid the discounted hospital cost.
Dr Fernando was assisted by Dr Pablo Javier Salamea Molina during the first surgery.
Thank you to all of our HKIE donors for giving Romina the opportunity to have a full normal life!
