WEEKLY REPORT – NOVEMBER 18, 2005

Anthony Jaciel Arias Aguilar
(1 year old from Honduras) – Thankfully, Anthony was cleared to return home on Monday and, thanks to Linda and Warren from Eileen Gentilcore’s Syosset-Woodbury RC, we got the family on the plane by 6:00 Tuesday morning. We were rushing with the flight because, if they couldn’t leave on Tuesday, there were no other flights in his class till January! So, thanks Eileen for enabling them to leave.

Kazandra Lopez Chavez (8 years old from Ecuador) – Kazandra looks great and, as usual, is winning everyone’s heart! She has another checkup next week and then, probably, cleared to go home! She and her mother have had a steady stream of visitors, including John Capri and the family of Rachel Glassman. Kazandra is Rachel’s Save A Child. Add to them Joe and Mary Ann Iaboni, from the Jamaica host club, Silvia Star and her friends from the Hispanic American Women’s Club and even Luigi D’Onofrio, and you have an idea of the appeal of this child.

Thank you all for hosting and visiting!

Have a Wonderful Thanksgiving and please remember all our friends in your Thanksgiving prayers!
 

 

WEEKLY REPORT – NOVEMBER 11, 2005

 

Christhian Joel Avila Ramos ( 7 years old from Honduras) – Christhian and his mother returned home real early on Wednesday and, as usual, Luigi D’Onofrio from the Westbury/Carle Place Club, put in an enormous amount of time with this family.  Thanks Luigi, we know we can always count on you.  

 

Anthony Jaciel Arias Aguilar (1 year old from Honduras) – Anthony still has a little fluid problem and has to wait a little longer before going home.  Eileen Gentilcore and her Interact Club are always in attendance with this family – doing whatever is needed.  Thanks!

 

Kazandra Lopez Chavez (8 years old from Ecuador) Unfortunately, Kazandra’s fluid problem is more serious and she is still in the hospital.  Had to be moved back to ICU last week.  Hopefully, she will be out of the hospital and with our friends at the Ronald McDonald House shortly.   Joe Iaboni (Jamaica RC) and his wife Mary Ann are constant visitors.  

 

We cannot  say enough good things about Silvia Star and her friends from the Hispanic American Women’s Club.  They have had their hands full lately!  

 

Due to the bombings in Jordan, there might be a delay in bringing the children from Iraq to Montefiore.  We are in touch with our friends there and the feelings of shock, etc. are the same as ours after our “9/11”!  Their Rotary Club met in one of the hotels that was bombed.  Let’s hope that the people there will be able to pull off a miracle and enable the visa and airline ticket process to go forward.  Please keep Marikay and our military friends in your prayers.

 

Prayers for Jeanne and all our children!
