Medical Assistance
Surgical Gifts: Current Situation
Some of our kids have severe health challenges. We have a relationship with Shriner’s hospital in Pasadena and “Fresh Start Surgical Gifts” to get these kids medical attention in the US without medical cost. We apply for assistance from these programs and have had success getting our kids life changing surgeries. |
It is exciting when our kids are approved of for these surgical gifts. To activate the hospital’s generosity requires that a 3 part logistics plan be put into place. This involves 3 main steps:
We can use assistance with the passport cost, plane fare as well as a connection to a generous host family. The main cities where surgeries take place are Pasadena, Philadelphia, Portland (OR), Salt Lake City and Chicago. An average stay is 7 days with the child at the house for 1 to 2 days and the chaparone staying for the entire 7 days. |
Challenges The Kids Face
Potential For Joy
Supporting Kids Locally in Mexico
We currently have several kids that require regular medical attention. One of the benefits of being in Baja is that medical care is much more affordable than in the United States meaning a little financial support goes a long way. |
One of these kids is Melinna. She is the inspiration behind the graphic for our Logo. Melinna is disabled, in a wheelchair with kidney failure. She needs to have regular dialysis and at times be placed on a ventilator. It is heartbreaking to see a little girl come into this world with so many undeserved challenges. Fortunately, together we can help her. What Melinna Needs We’d like to be able to bring Melinna to the Ranch to offer her a better quality of life than she is experiencing laying in a hospital bed. To do so requires 24/7 care which can be implemented with 3 caregivers. One for the day, one for the night and one for the weekends at an estimated total cost of $1200 a month for the 3. |
