 4 year old Edyn has spasticity, is a condition in which muscles stiffen or tighten, preventing normal fluid movement. His mother contacted us because he needed flexible splints for his legs in order to walk.

Between the coordination of our Director of Development and Communications Maite Mijares and  our coastal representative Luis Galarza, we sponsored Edyn and his parents trip from Machala, Oro Province in the coastal region to Protesis Imbabura in Ibarra, Tunguragua Province in the Andes. We also sponsored the splints done for him.

In two days they fashioned special boots to support his feet and ankles.

With practice he will have his folks running to catch up with him!

Thanks to Protesis Imbabura and all the donors for helping this sweet little boy!

Please ponsor a child with your donations, and be a part of these life changing experiences.

Another life saved!

This is 14 year old Henry who recently had a successful though dramatic heart surgery at Hospital Metropolitano in Quito.

Henry suffered from aortic coartation which means part of his aorta was very narrow thus causing a severe lack of oxygenated blood to his system. Additionally, Henry had received trauma to his heart.

Those two problems led Fundacion Metrofraternidad in Quito to reach out to HKIE in the hopes of being able to save Henry's life.

We were told it was a 6 hour surgery. He had a couple of very bad days and had to spend 3 additional days in the ICU unit. It was only due to the skills of Dr. Santiago Endara, the cardiac specialist, and his skilled team's quick intervention that Henry was stabilized and on his way to a full recovery.
He has been sent him home but will have regular checkups for the next few months.
Many thanks to the entire staff at Hospital Metropolitano and Fundacion Metrofraternidad and of course all our donors who together make these type of miracles happen for Henry and others.
We encourage you to be a part of our crusade to make the life of children better and healthy.

Meet our Children 517 and 518

We were contacted by Maria Jose of Hearts of Gold regarding 2 brothers who were having severe vision problems..

18 year old Ismael and 6 year old Mateo were accompanied to Exilaser by Jennifer Cory. Both these boys were examined by Dr Diego Torres and were prescribed glasses.

Noami, who was referred to us by Garry at Hogar de Esperanza, received with her new glasses following her strabisimus ( lazy eyes) surgery on both eyes.

Both Hearts of Gold and Hogar del Esperanza are two excellent foundations in Cuenca.
All of us at HKIE are very happy to provide three of their children with the gift of vision!
