Update on valerie
We are beginning to see some small rays of hope.
Reports from Cozumel from those checking on Valerie's care in the home indicate that she is continuing to fight for her life. She is taking in the Ensure during multiple small feedings daily.
A doctor's report has been received & forwarded for medical review here in Houston. We hope to hear if her case has been approved by Friday.
Medical custody of Valerie has been obtained. We hope that travel documents will be finalized this week. Tentative travel arrangements are being planned dependent on hospital approvel and issuance of travel documents.
Student groups have begun fundraising for Valerie's expenses. Church groups and community members have felt called to do the same.
Three local Katy papers have run stories on Valerie. Channel 2 News will be filming a segment at Cinco Ranch High School tomorrow highlighting the students' fundraising efforts and publicity campaigns.
Many have asked what they can do to help...
- Keep the goal of Valerie being accepted into a hospital in Houston in your heart & mind
- Continue to raise awareness of Valerie's case & of the needs of all children with disabilities
- Consider raising funds for Valerie's ongoing medical care & personal needs within your circle of friends, colleagues, family or make an individual donation.
- Network...who do you know? How can they help?
- Once Valerie is in Houston our needs will broaden. We will keep you informed about her needs & how you can help out directly in the process of getting this child the loving care that she needs.
Thank you for your support of Valerie and Carrie's Heart

This experience has impacted me deeply. It is my hope that you will find courage in your heart to help this desperate child. She was found on March 16, 2006 and we have very little time. I have looked in her eyes, I have touched her hands and know that she is fully aware of what is happening to her. I know she exists in undescribeable conditions. I have been by her side and I feel personally responsible to help her. Thank you for your kind consideration.

Espanol informe Spanish information
Puede haber muchas formas de expresar lo que es el amor y la manera en que se puede dar, habra quien lo considere como un sentimiento que hace desear el bien y la compañía de otro en donde se puede dar y recibir sin esperar nada a cambio. Bajo esta perspectiva, sera una sensación que en la mayor parte de las veces, ayudara a aumentar la autoestima y el sentimiento de felicidad; visto asi, el amor es una acción voluntaria que se emprende y se aprende y no una pasión que se impone contra nuestra voluntad; dicho de otra manera, el amor se convierte entonces en una libre decisión y elección como forma de vida
Cualquiera que sea el mecanismo para conocer su significado y sus efectos, para ANGEL NOTION el amor es una realidad que no tiene fronteras, su interes no es definir la palabra amor, sino llevarla a la practica. ANGEL NOTION o ayuda de los angeles, es una organizacion no lucrativa con la mision de atender en forma integral las diferentes necesidades que tiene la poblacion más desprotegida de Playa del Carmen. Su enfoque se basa en aspectos de la medicina tradicional y con muy buenos resultados en la medicina alternativa, considera los efectos sociales que ayudan al desarrollo personal y promueven la adaptacion al trabajo
Desde hace más de 6 años, la Sra. Lavonna Redman, originaria de Portland Oregon, es la directora de ese organismo y ha dedicado toda su energia y mistica de servicio para atender principalmente a niños con enfermedades severas del corazón. Los servicios medicos son posibles gracias al apoyo de la "Michigan States University" donde un grupo de Cirujanos de diferentes especialidades y su personal de apoyo, por lo menos dos veces por año, realizan intervenciones quirurgicas en hospitales publicos y privados que en forma gratuita cooperan ofreciendo sus instalaciones.
De manera especial se pueden mencionar sus logros en esta ciudad donde ya existe una adecuada coordinación con autoridades municipales y con los distintos hospitales y con los mas importantes prestadores de servicios, en todos los casos han obtenido donaciones financieras con deducibilidad fiscal o tambien en especie, situacion que les permite ofrecer mas ayuda a nuestra poblacion de escasos recursos. Actualmente ya cuentan con la "Clinica Nicte Ha" en la colonia del mismo nombre donde, desde hace más de 2 años, se han proporcionado más de 3,000 servicios médicos, de capacitaciòn para el trabajo y de desarrollo personal, así como tambien de atención social
Por lo general son unos pocos los que logran dar amor y compasión a muchos, por lo que este reportero ha visto, notamos que ANGEL NOTION da mas con menos y lo da a una comunidad que en verdad necesita la ayuda. Un brazo de esa ayuda, lo ofrece Medica Maya ubicado en la Av. CTM, esq. Con 40 Av., un hospital con un a&o de estar en operacion y donde su directora, la doctora Maria F. Martinez Montiel, comparte el compromiso de dar mas con menos, por eso, a partir del dia 5 y hasta el dia 10 de este mes, sus instalaciones se han puesto gratuitamente al servicio de ANGEL NOTION. Ese hospital se mantiene a la vanguardia del servicio privado en Playa del Carmen y tiene capacidad para atender pacientes en distintas especialidades porque cuenta con medicos especialistas certificados y recertificados lo cual da confianza en el cuidado de la salud. El personal es debidamente calificado en sus diferentes areas y para el traslado de pacientes se apoya en el servicio propio de dos ambulancias de cuidados intensivos
Puesto que los recursos disponibles en la region muchas veces se reinvierten en proyectos e infraestructura basica para apoyar el turismo, en ocasiones no sobra mucho para apoyar a la población nativa Maya. En esas condiciones, los que tienen diferentes discapacidades, frecuentemente son rechazados de sus hogares o por la propia comunidad y las personas que los cuidan, no tienen la educación necesaria que les permita conocer los alcances y potenciales de estos niños, y lo peor del asunto es, que tampoco existe un lugar donde pueden obtener cuidados especiales. Con tu ayuda, Ayuda a los Ángeles, será ese lugar para educación y cuidados especiales

Vision mission playa del carmen and Cozumel Feb 2006Giving glasses to those children who would have never been able to afford them. 250 kids were tested and fitted with glasses donated from
Dr. Patricia Gallagher,Dr. George and Diane Hagen, Dr.Julia Regan
Dear Lavonna,
What a great mission! The
arrangements on your end were way more than we expected; muchas gracias!
After looking back, we think this is the best mission experience we have
had. Working with the children was just great and we hope we were able to
change a few lives for the better.
The accommodations and food were "out of this world." I'm afraid we got
spoiled and it will be hard to adapt to the way of life we experienced on
other trips if we do future missions. But, we will... because the smiles and
hugs we get make it all worthwhile.
Please thank all the volunteers that helped us because they did an
outstanding job. We could not have worked without them and I certainly
appreciated the good cooks in the kitchen. Wow, what great homemade Mexican
fare! And please thank the restaurant owners for dinner. I took a few of
their cards and will hand them out to friends that are planning to vacation
in Playa and hope they visit the restaurants that were so gracious to us.
Muje Rico! (spelling?)
We have ordered the glasses and they are being processed by our lab. We
should get them in plenty of time before we head back to Tulum. Juan called
us after we got back and said he would volunteer to come to Tulum to pick
them up if you wanted him to.
So, thanks again for all of your help. You are a wonderful and competent
person and we truly appreciate how smoothly things went. And we hope things
went as smoothly for the Michigan team that followed us. We were amazed how
you could "pull a rabbit out of the hat" and get them rooms; but then again,
you are a very, very special lady that "just gets things done."
Muchas gracias! And I have attached a few photos of the mission.
With all of our love,
George and Diane Hagen
