Update on Daniel Alejandro​
​
Most of you remember our first heart patient, Daniel from three years ago. He was a blue baby and when his mother was told that he only had months to live, HKIE became involved. His surgery was immediate and performed at Hospital Metropolitano in Quito, by one of Ecuador's foremost pediatric heart surgeons, Dr Gerardo Davalos. After his first surgery, Daniel's family was told he would likely need another one in a few years.

Now Daniel will have a right cava vein ligation surgery.. Obviously another serious operation..Needless to say, both Daniel and his mother Silvy are scared and nervous. His surgery takes place this Tuesday midday at Hospital Metropolitano with Dr. Davalos.
Please keep Daniel and his family in your thoughts and prayers during this critical time.
​
And a huge thank you to the doctors and Fundacion Metropolitano and all our donors who work together to help young Daniel have a normal, full life.

Update from Helping Kids In Ecuador (HKIE)
What a difference a year makes!
We just received a photo of 6 year old Maylin (from the Otavalo area) from her therapist. She is standing on her own! One year ago she never left her crib without being carried by a family member. Now with the help of Jasmim, her therapist, she is standing and hopefully soon will be able to walk. Her therapist says she has never seen anyone work so hard....What a miracle for her, her family and her little community!
​All their lives have been impacted thanks to our donors who make this possible!

Helping Kids in Ecuador (HKIE) CHILD 219

Pictured with Dra Mariela Siguencia and also with her new look is 8 year old Samantha. Samantha lost both her eyes to cancer at the age of 3. With her growth she needed new prosthetic eyes which Dra Mariela Elisa Siguencia provided at her cost to HKIE. She also waived all of her fees! Little Samantha is a brave young lady who attends school to earn braille
.
Also pictured is child 188...Vilma.
Vilma not only lost her eye to cancer but ...her entire orbit from brow to midway down her nose was destroyed from the chemo and radiation treatments. Dra Siguencia worked her magic and one would never be able to tell by looking at her now. Both of these young ladies can now go through life with a nice looking appearance!
​Thank you Dra Siguencia for helping us with these children!
​And a huge thank you to all our donors for making these miracles happen!

Helping Kids in Ecuador (HKIE) case #218

This is Vicky, a precious five you old born with Microtia. Dr Pablo Salamea Molina recently performed a surgery to create a new ear for her. While her new ear is still in the healing process, look at the difference between her before and after surgery pictures!

Dr Pablo used the Medpor Implant system created by Dr John Reinisch from the Reinisch Plastic Surgery Center in Beverly Hills, Ca
Dr Pablo went to Beverly Hills last year to train and study with Dr Reinisch. It was quite an honor for him to be invited to train with him and is an example of Pablo's stellar reputation when such a highly regarded world class surgeon selected him to be trained at his clinic.

​Thanks to our friend, Rob Williams, we had the pleasure to meet Dr Reinisch and visit his clinic last year.

​Vicky and her family are so thankful that she will have two normal looking ears!
Dr Reinisch is centered in the photo.
