As many of you know, Triskele Celtic Music has been involved with helping families with medical expenses in the Mexican community in La Manzanilla where we have spent our winters for the past 11 years. Our most recent project has been for Hania, a 16 year old girl with CP, who needs a new wheelchair.
Here is a progress report on the project:
This past weekend, the family went to Hania's appointment with the physiotherapist in Guadalajara where she received the necessary evaluation for the manufacture of a new wheelchair adapted to her needs and a pair of splints to keep her feet straight.
She also spent some time with the therapist and a 4-legged friend!
Over the past 2 years, together, we have raised $2700 Pesos and when the 50% deposit ($1300) is received by the therapist next week, her wheelchair will be ordered. It will be delivered 3 weeks later at which time the family needs to return to Guadalaja for fitting and adjustments and to make the final payment.
On behalf of Hania's family, thank you for all your support, and to all the generous people who have helped.
