The Helping Kids in Ecuador Thank You Party at Black Olive Bistro was a big hit!

8/20/2015

Richard, Amy and Melissa, owners of the Black Olive Bistro, did a wonderful job of decorating the restaurant and provided over 12 varieties of mouth watering hot and cold appetizers that were thoroughly enjoyed by all!

The co founders and board of directors sponsored and paid for this event to show our appreciation for all the supporters who attended last year’s fundraiser event at the home of Bob and Cathy Dammeyer. Thanks, Bob and Cathy!

Due to the generosity of all who attended, 33 children received the life enhancing surgeries and other medical treatment they so desperately needed.

We had 2 surprise VIP guests in attendance.
Cielo, a 9 month old girl, had her severe cleft lip repaired by Dr Pablo Salamea.
Jose, a 7 year old boy was born with a malformed jaw which prevents him from chewing properly. He has received 1 surgery and will require 2 or three more to fix his jaw.

Both parents wanted to meet and thank all the people for helping their kids. There was a lot of love and appreciation shared between parents, kids and all the people in attendance. It was a special night!!

There are no words to describe how grateful all of us at HKIE are to all of our supporters and donors for making all of the medical treatments possible for these wonderful kids and their grateful families!

67th Child Helped by HKIE

Maholy is an 8 year old from Paute. When she was three years old a car ran over her hand.

Our friends from church, Gary and Katy Rovetto, told us about the situation last Sunday. She is unable to use her hand and it is beginning to cause her pain. Dr Pablo Salamea examined her yesterday. Next week she will return to Hospital del Rio and Dr Pablo will do reconstructive surgery on her hand. When Maholy heard she was going to be seen by a doctor to repair her hand, her first reaction was “but Papi, what about the money?”

Maholy and her father are thrilled that thanks to our donors, after a five year wait, her hand and fingers will be repaired.

Franny and her new friend
This is Franny, a young 8 year old child who is in the hospital for one to two weeks for a severe leg/bone infection. Her infection has gone on for almost two years and she now needs an antibiotic drip and four or five surgeries to scrape the bone to remove the infection. The doctors are guarded in their prognosis as this infection is so severe. She has serious bone loss due to this prolonged infection. There is a possibility of amputation to save her life if the treatment is not effective. So, your thoughts and prayers are definitely needed and appreciated.
