This young man, Nixon, was poked in the eye with a stick over a year ago. Being from the countryside his family had no access to an ophthamologist so gradually over the year his eyesight deteriorated to the point of having no vision in that eye.
The family was able to contact HKIE and he was immediately seen by the doctors at Exilaser. Within days of first being seen, Nixon had eye surgery and Dr. Miottto reports that he, amazingly, now has 20/20 vision in that eye!
Our thanks go out to the doctors (Dr. Miotto and Dr Torres) and the staff of Exilaser, and of course to all our donors who made it possible for the young man to regain his sight.

​This is 6 year old Pedro who was born with Cerebral Palsy type symptoms. He is fairly mobile and the therapist at his special school had strongly recommended the use of a TENS unit to stimulate his muscles and nerves on his legs to enable him to walk. Here he is wearing the unit just minutes after purchase.
Mom was extremely proactive in running down the best source to purchase the unit.
Hopefully this device, along with his physical therapy, will greatly improve Pedro's mobility and ability to live a more normal life
.
Thanks to all our supporters making these little miracles possible.

Last weekend Cetap Lucy and HKIE had a minor emergency. Little 3 year old Irina fell and badly gashed her forehead. She needed stitches placed by a plastic surgeon to prevent a bad scar. Dr. Pablo was in surgery all day, so she was taken to Sta Ines.where after waiting a couple hours for the plastic surgeon to become available, Irina was stitched up as good as new. Between big brother, mom and dad and grandma and Rocio from Cetap Lucy, we had a very thankful group!
Also this week little 18 month Alfredo had his cleft lip surgery at Hospital del Rio. He was not a happy tyke before hand...he could not understand why he was hungry and not getting fed. As you can see from the immediate after photo from Dr. Pablo Salamea, he will grow up never knowing he had this cleft lip.
Thanks to all our donors, two more children and their families went home happy and healthy.

"Hip, Hip, Hooray!"
Pictured is 10 month old Martin from Riobamba. He has misaligned hips. His father contacted us for help with a brace because several years ago HKIE provided his older brother Juan Francisco with 2 life saving kidney surgeries. Papa keeps in touch..also shown is a healthy Juan Francisco ...with his hat...always....and his twin )
Also pictured is 8 month old Lupita who also has misaligned hips. Today she recieved her specially made braces.
Both these children will now be able to grow up and walk correctly, thanks to the help of our HKIE supporters!
