Angelnotions club for women expecting babies

Every Tuesday and Thursday we attend to 5 young ladies who are expecting their first child. Our program includes medical attention to assure healthy babies, group talks about birthing techniques, special attention for each expected mother. Each expecting mother receives a celebration of a baby shower in the clinc before they give birth. We have two new healthy babies from the results of this new program. The comments we are getting is that in the other centers is the doctors arent giving them the attention that they need or desire. One of the expecting mothers even said , her doctor hasnt ever looked her in the eye.. ever. In our clinic we feel its important to show love and good attention that they deserve and the results will be proven in the child that they bare.

2 angels on their way for open heart surgery in Mexico, we are very excited about our new medical team from Mexico who are willing to help us continue our open heart program here in Mexico, the costs are the same as in the US at 15k dollars or 150k pesos but it saves us from going in to the states and the complications that we have experienced with language barriers and traveling to a foreign country for urgent medical treatment!

Freddy needs your help to live......

His life has just begun.
He needs our help to live.
My Name is Freddy Antonio Tah Cih. I’m 21 years old.

Eight months ago I was rushed into the emergency room in Cancun, Mexico where the medical professionals diagnosed me with terminal kidney disease (which means my life depends on my receiving a kidney transplant). The first step that has been taken is a compatibility exam to see if my father can be my kidney donor. Thankfully, he is the perfect match. The next step is a kidney transplant. The surgery will cost 500,000.00 Pesos (50,000.00 US Dollars). In Mexico, all medical costs are required up front, no exceptions allowed.

Dr. Luis David Suarez, the Medical Director of Angel Notion, the incredible organization that has been helping me (www.angelnotion.org), has contacted a team of doctors who are currently in the process of implementing a transplant division for the Ameri-Med Hospital in Cancun, Mexico. They are very excited and see great possibilities for my future.
My goal is that through asking for your help, we will
pull together this required funding - and I will be
able to celebrate my life.

I have so much to live for. I’m a son, I’m a brother, and I am a young man with my entire life ahead of me. I am asking you to please help me complete my dream of a lifetime, and help me to raise the funds that are required. I need to make this surgery a reality. I have confidence in God and in your heart that you will have a desire to collaborate with me in one way or another to assist in literally saving my life.

Teenagers Abroad program

Teenagers Abroad program

By Vilina Phan

Hot, hot, hot, must escape from the scorching rays of sun, I thought to myself as I got out of the taxi and power walk inside. Aged white walls entered my vision when I stepped inside, not really thinking about what I was getting myself into.

I’m in the Teenagers Abroad program, and part of the commitment was to volunteer at a local hospital. On my first day there, when I heard our assignment of the day, I’ll admit I groaned a little bit. But nonetheless I went out with the rest of the girls, handing out fliers in the surrounding area.

What I saw regrettably surpassed anything I’d ever seen. Such sadness could be felt throughout the neighborhood. Stray dogs ran loose across the dirt ridden ground, where only a few brave blades of grass could peak through, and the earth was used as a wastebasket. In contrast to my suburban neighborhood, the homes were devastating; some of the people were living basically under a tin roof with only a few sticks supporting it up. It broke my heart to see this, especially since at home, my life is filled with things that some of these people can only dream about. It’s strange to think that people can live like this when only a few blocks away there are other people paying hundreds of thousands of dollars a night for a condo or resort. But I digress; I handed out fliers, using the limited Spanish I’ve learned to help them best I could, by informing them of the Angel notion clinic, and honestly a lot of them seemed grateful. There was a shop owner who told me a story about her daughter who was having a difficult pregnancy, and how she was eternally grateful for our flyer and our willingness to help. I came back to the hospital blistered, sweaty, and dehydrated, but at the same time none of that mattered because I knew I made a difference in someone’s life, even if it’s not world changing, it still gave me a fantastic feeling. That was only day one.

On one occasion, we did touch ups around the hospital by painting over decaying spots on the wall, and at first it didn’t seem to make a difference, just an odd job. But when the paint dried, the walls were like new, for lack of better words. And it truly spruced up the appearance of the hospital, making it look more welcoming and warm.

On another occasion, as we were waiting for our assignments, I saw a little boy and his mother. The little boy couldn’t have been more then five years old, with beautifully bright and curious brown eyes. As his mother was talking to the receptionist, we had fun playing a peek-a-boo game, and as he waved good-bye to me, I waved back feeling satisfied.

This clinic hospital is a fantastic place, located where money is scarce and all help is greatly appreciated. Volunteering here was an unexpected experience that broadened my perspective of life.

Humanismo de Román Quian Alcocer da
oportunidad de vida a niño de dos años de edad


Angel Alberto López Pérez, de dos años de edad y que padece un problema que se conoce como “soplo en el corazón”, fue apadrinado por Román Quian Alcocer, presidente municipal de Solidaridad. Al pequeño se le practicará una cirugía a corazón abierto en junio próximo.

Esta es una oportunidad de vida para Angel Alberto, pues en otras circunstancias difícilmente pudiera ser sometido a una intervención de este tipo, pues en el extranjero una cirugía de este nivel tiene un alto costo; sin embargo, con la intervención programada para junio que será en Mérida, Yucatán, tendrá un costo menor incluyendo viáticos, diagnósticos y cirugía.

Así se dio a conocer este día, durante una visita que realizó el Presidente Román Quian Alcocer a la clínica Angel Notion, Ayuda de los Ángeles A.C., que se encuentra en la colonia Nicte Há. Esta asociación ha promovido 15 intervenciones a corazón abierto desde el año 2007 hasta el momento.

Uno de los compromisos prioritarios del gobierno de Solidaridad es la salud y el cuidado de los niños del municipio y como muestra de ello fue la visita del primer Edil a este centro de medicina alternativa. Román Quian Alcocer conoció los proyectos que le fueron presentados por la presidenta de la asociación Lavonna Redman.

Los programas, según se informó, permite atender la problemática de la drogadicción, terapia y desintoxicación a través de acupuntura; otros son programas de control contra el dengue hemorrágico, para el establecimiento de un centro de capacitación de terapeutas certificados en tratamiento de la diabetes.

Se le solicitó al Edil apoyo para ampliar las instalaciones y para poner en marcha las especialidades en Ginecología, Obstetricia, Pediatría, análisis clínicos, entre otros.

Ya se cuenta con la donación de consultorio de urgencias, sala de urgencias con dos camas pediátricas, dos camas de adulto, así como una incubadora, aparatos de quirófano, sala de expulsión y partos en agua y área de recuperación, laboratorio, banco de sangre y rayos “X”.

This center will include maternity, pediatric and adult ICU, emergency center. We will have triage area with a surgery operating room 3 Ped Icu beds and 3 adult Icu beds, we plan on have various options for birthing an obgyn area for prevention all the way thru birth.(and area to take care of our heart kids too)Drs. Beatrice Gutierrez and Dr. Sergio Menovich will head the project. In the current Nic te ha clinic we are moving forward to provide care for adults and children on a daily basis and care for long term issues, we now have a diabetes club in the clinic serving 40 people every Friday testing and educating diabetes patients, The diabetes club in Cozumel assisting over 250 people every Saturday. We now have a local doctor provided by the city who is starting the pediatric prevention program, we will see if we get state funding for a dengue prevention program and 2 other programs which is psychology on wheels, who will go into the outlying communities and stay for 1 week at a time helping women men and children with their psychological issues as well as a protection for women (men and children against violence.)
The clinic Nic te ha continues with volunteer Medical doctors and therapist NOW OVER 5 YEARS RUNNING WE HAVE ASSISTED OVER 100K PEOPLE from the States of Quintana Roo (Riviera Maya), Yucatan and Campeche.

We have a team of 6 people who represent different organizations thru out México and propose their project for angel notions clinics and the state of Quintana Roo.

We continue to make progress in the cardio program(Fixing broken hearts), Having saved over 120 children’s life since 1999, we are now reaching our goals of completing open heart surgeries in Merida Mexico at Star Medica. Dr, Kirk and his wife Kim Milhoan came to evaluate the hospital last month, and all was approved for Catherizations, we were successful just two weeks ago in 4 Catherizations and completed heart surgery on 2 down syndrome kids. TOTAL SUCCESS! We plan to have Open heart surgeries in just a matter of a month with Dr.Jorge Salazar Returning to complete that mission IN MEXICO. This is huge for our organization as we now will have many more options. We are now focused on putting together our Mexico Team so we have pediatric cardiologist, profusionsist and pediatric anesthesiologist creating the future for our new cardio center. We currently have 8 children on the waiting list (waiting for funds 13,500 per child) and 70 children on the external list for urgent open heart surgeries.
