Surgery for Kenia!
Donation protected
Kenia is a sweet and beautiful 17 year old girl who lives in the Hogar de Amor y Protección al Niño orphanage in Colima, Mexico. Recently she was hit by a car as she was crossing the street and while she is making a miraculous recovery, she still needs extensive reconstructive surgery to bring back her gorgeous face and smile.
Kenia is in need of three reconstruction operations on her jaw, so that teeth can be implanted, which will happen in one of the surgeries. The cost just for the material for these three surgeries is 150,000 pesos(about $9000). One of the surgeries will be to place bone on her top jaw. This is needed in order for them to place her new teeth. The plan is for her to be operated on in November. A specialist is coming in November and Kenia will be used as a model for him to teach the procedures to students. That is why there is no other cost for the surgeries besides the material needed for them.
Kenia is still dealing with her arm that has the fracture. We are hoping after the reconstructive surgery on her jaw is done she can have surgery on her arm to fix that as well. A lot of the cost for the procedures she has had done already, she was not charged for or just for the materials. She has been blessed with many doctors who are willing to help Kenia out. Also a young couple from the church is offering to do therapy for her speech, arm, back and leg. But this can not start until she has finished her surgeries.
Being in an orphange, Kenia doesn't have the funds for this surgery and the orphanage volunteers are doing what they can to help raise the funds. Please contribute what you can for this amazing and very strong young lady!! 100% of donations go directly to Kenia's surgeries!!
