Healing the Children Arizona Chapter

What it reported doing in 2010

Stateside Foreign Assist ProgramThe Arizona chapter brought five children to the United States for medical treatment in 2010. 1. Lorena, a 5 year old girl from the Philippines was in desperate need for an open heart surgery, which was provided by donating doctors and hospital in Tucson. This was the first time that HTC Arizona used resources outside of the Phoenix area. 2. In October Hussein from Iraq arrived whose services would be provided for through the Shriners in LA. This was also a first for our chapter to work in partnership with Shriners to help a child in need. Although the doctors and hospital is located in Los Angeles, our chapter works through El Zaribah Shriners clinic located in Phoenix. Hussein was in need of a prosthetic arm and plastic surgical repairs to his face. This is the second time Hussein had been brought to the United States. He had already been brought to Arizona in late 2005 when he received extensive services for the injuries he incurred due to a land mine blast.3. The third patient was 8 year old girl, Ana, from Honduras. Ana was in need of a repair to her esophagus, which was destroyed when she drank a caustic liquid at the age of 2. This precious child went through an extremely complicated surgery that now enables her to eat by mouth. 4. The fourth patient was a teenage girl from the Bahamas, Shantal. Shantal had a problem with her jaw, which had been locked due to a bad fall and needed reconstructive surgery to unlock the jaw. Shantal had had two failed surgical attempts in Jamaica, which made her procedure all the more difficult. Fortunately for Shantal our surgeons were able to reset her jaw successfully. Shantal will need to return in another 6 months to complete the 2nd stage of her repair. 5. The fith patient, Beatriz, came from Nicaragua. Beatriz, a lovely 17 year old girl, needed reconstructive surgery on her feet to help improve her ability to walk and to take pressure off her knees. All the patients with the exception of Lorena arrived late in the year and will be required to have treatment that carries into 2011 to complete their treatment.The organization has not been able to determine the total donated value of the services provided for all of the children but estimates that it is in excess of $300,000.
