This is 5 1/2 year old Carlitos. He was severely burned in August, but Living 2 hours away from Cuenca he did not recieve adequate medical treatment until November. Thanks to Gary and Dena Pate from Pate Ministries, Carlitos was recently brought to our attention.
Today we set up appointments for a minimum of 3 treatments to soften his scarring on his face (to be done 3 weeks apart). Following the treatments he will be evaluated for probable skin grafts.
He is such a darling little boy. Tod became his new best friend. And when he saw the medicine ($50) to be rubbed on his scars...he said to Dr Pablo "I can pay, I have the 50 centavos"!
The father was so grateful the his son will be treated at Hospital del Rio..
Many thanks to Dr. Pablo Salamea, Hospital del Rio and all our supporters for allowing HKIE to help this young man.
