Isaac is 1 and a half year old, a beautiful baby from the Santa Elena Province.

His mother contacted us through our social media, because his pediatrician heard a heart murmur and she was worried without any means for medical attention.

We sponsored an ecocardiogram and it was evaluated by our cardiologist, Rodrigo Mendoza in Cuenca who volunteers with our cases.

Fortunately his condition is known as an innocent murmur.

So he can continue his life in a very healthy way.

Thanks to Doctor Mendoza, and specially to our donors that make all of this help possible

Meet 12 year old Nayali who has been wearing hearing aids since she was a toddler.

Her father contacted us asking for help in replacing her hearing aids that were not reparable. The father had been able to raise half the money so HKIE helped with the rest so Nayali could hear again and return to her school work.

This case represents that another life has been saved!

This is the case of 16 year old Angel.
We were contacted by Fundacion Metrofraternidad in Quito with an urgent request to help this young man.

They informed us it was an emergency case: the young man had ventricular tachycardia and without immediate surgery was not expected to live.

Thanks to Dr. Francisco Rodriquez and his team at Hospital Metropolitano a defibrilator was implanted and the doctors are extremely pleased with the results.

A huge thank you to Hospital Metropolitano, the doctors and staff, and all our donors.

This is 3 month old Sidny from Otavalo.

Her family took the 11 hour bus ride to come to Cuenca for Dr. Pablo Salamea our medical director to repair her cleft lip.

Her family had been very concerned because Sidny had many problems swallowing her milk without losing most of it due to the cleft lip.

As she got older, she also would not be able to speak clearly. Not a problem now.

The second picture shows how beautiful she is after just 2 weeks. Her mom and dad are over the moon happy!

All this happened thanks to our Medical Director Dr. @Pablo Salamea, Hospital del Rio and all our donors!

Marcelita's mother contacted us through our social media. And we did all possible to help her.
This little darling is nine years old and has Cerebral Palsy.
She's having trouble getting the necessary nutrients in through a feeding tube. She met today with Dra. Paola Jaramillo at Hospital del Rio in Cuenca. Dra. Jaramillo is a children's nutritionist. They came up with a game plan to greatly benefit Marcelita's health. So fortunate for these amazing doctors who are willing to help these little kids!

She is lucky enough to have a very loving family, but did not have any way to sit up or join in their daily routines.
She spent her time laying on the couch, laying on the cold tile floor on a blanket or being carried.
We delivered her a specialized wheelchair , one that will allow her to live a much fuller life.

Her face lit up as did her whole family's.
Now, she can go to the neighborhood park with her Mom, Dad and sisters and everyone can have an easier day.
As far as volunteering goes, this was a beautiful event for all involved.

Thank you donors, from the bottom of our hearts. Changing this child's life is just magical.
Thanks to El Quirófano-Casa Médica: https://www.facebook.com/El-Quirófano-Casa-Médica-301214313304726 for the discount that helped us get the wheelchair.
If you ever wonder if your HKIE donation is well spent, I can guarantee you that it is:)
