March 2007 update

Angel Notion Update March 2007

The fundraising concerts in February were a big success, thanks to Paris Delane and the late Paul Delay! Enough funds were raised to sponsor four children who desperately need open-heart surgery (at 13,500 usd per child!). These kids will be flying to Texas as soon as we get a confirmed date from Dr. Jorge Salazar and the Santa Rosa Children’s hospital.
Our immediate needs for this mission are:
1. Two children are still in urgent need of funding for open heart surgery
2. We need Spanish/English translators with US visas (or US passport holders) who can travel with the children to San Antonio, Texas at the end of March or the beginning of April, 2007. These translators will assist mothers/kids during the time of surgery and healing. Depending on each child’s recovery, it is a 7 day, all-expense paid trip. This is a great way for a patient and caring person to get involved in their community.

Angel Notion’s goal has always been to help at least one child every day, and in the nine years we have existed, we have met and exceeded those goals. To date, Angel Notion has helped thousands of sick and needy people. For the past couple of years, Angel Notion has had a mission to build a cardiology center for babies that are born with heart defects; however our goals have recently expanded to include a cardiology center that will help both children and adults. Heart attacks have become the number 2 killer in the state of Quintana Roo, with the number one killer being diabetes. Our dream Cardiology center will provide education, medical care, alternative options, prevention, technology and much more through cooperation with international and Mexican universities and institutions who will come together to offer solutions for the people of Quintana Roo. Please help us make those dreams come true. Contact Lavonna if you have an interest in participating in this mission.
