Donation Goal has been MET!!! Woohoo

The days continue to be hectic...but this time back in the sweltering heat of the coast. First off, THANK YOU to all those who opened their heart to this cause for donating. It might have seemed like a far off story with people you dont know. Its hard to relate the emotion of the story through blog postings and wish you all could be hear to meet Jose and Rosa and see the on the ground reality...AND progress! There are countless things to donate to in this day and age; we're so grateful you chose to step up to our calling to help these two individuals that had been so neglected and left alone. Our received donations sum to a near $4,000! Incredible amount of support in such a short amount of time. We are wowed! And hope you all can be too with the miracles that are gaining momentum.

Jose will be back to Quito on sunday and checking into a very well respected hospital, Voz Andes. His surgery will probably take place on tuesday of next week, as exams will need to be carried out on monday. Half of the dontations, $2k is going to the surgery. The hospital is covering the remaining $3k...see previous postings if you want the whole scoop! The other $2k of donations has gone to the first Quito trip, the house project, food, and basic household supplies for when they move into their new home. They are going to have a basic but sweet setup once they get back from the hospital the following week. If all goes to plan, the house will be finished by this Saturday evening. The rest of the donations will also cover the second trip to Quito, post surgery rehabilitation, as well as Miguels salary...who has been so needed and has come through in so many ways.

We'll be back on the blog by friday or saturday. Hasta luego a todos!
