Child Of The Month – February 2016

Child Of The Month

By Nicole Sergent, Clinic Director

Jesus, S.G.

 

Jesus was born on August 6th, 2015 in Chapala. His parents came to us at our Chapala Clinic on September 1st, 2015. Jesus was born with a congenital heart problem and also with breathing problems. The family needed help with paying for transport back and forth to Hospital Civil in Guadalajara and for medication and oxygen which the baby needed at times.

Over the last 5 months Jesus was in and out of hospital many times, he was in need of oxygen at first and more so in the last months. The family brought him to Hospital Civil the week of January 4th as he was having problems breathing, they kept him under observation and sent him home as he was doing better.

I am very sorry to say that the baby passed away on the night of January 8th, he died in his sleep. We offer our deepest condolences to his family and we have helped with expenses towards his funeral.

As Clinic Director for Ninos Incapacitados, I take this opportunity to thank everyone who volunteer at our clinics.  It is very emotional at times, however, the families are so appreciative of our help and our support that it is all worth it in the end.

I also would like to thank everyone who donates time and money to our organization, without you these children would have a very hard time to survive, muchas, muchas gracias!
