This is Belen, a year and a half old little one from the coast. Over a year ago HKIE provided hydrocephalus (water on the brain) surgery for her.
This last month we were informed she had a hernia, but that the surgery could be more dangerous than normal due to a weak heart. Fortunately, thanks to Sr Veronica from the Palmar Clinic, she was admitted to a hospital in Guayaquil where she had her hernia successfully repaired with no ill effects.
Her parents are grateful to all the HKIE supporters who made both surgeries possible.
