On our last trip January 19th, we were approached by the family of Hilario Canedo to help fund the cost of an arthroscopic gall bladder surgery that he needs. As many of you know, Hilario is a 35 year old man who was struck with Juvenile Arthritis at age 15. He has spent virtually all of the last 20 years in a bed due to his arthritis. Due to his poor condition, the family refused a conventional gall bladder surgery, but instead chose a much less invasive arthroscopic procedure.
We were able to help fund the operation with donated cash. We now are in a position to accept contributions to help fund projects in Independencia, including the Clinic Property. The clinic needs to have it's roof sealed, the storage shed needs a complete makeover, and we would like to build permanent tables and seating for crafts, cooking and triage. Your contributions will help us to be more effective on our clinic trips, also we would hope to expand our presence in the community, schools, and at the Santa Catarina Reservation.
Saddleback Church is our sponsor on our clinic trips, however the Clinic Property is wholly owned by Medical Support International (MSI) and is the more appropriate organization for making contributions to our efforts. Many of you had a chance to meet Rodger Barnett (President) and Clint Mayers (Vice President) of MSI on our last trip. In addition, Thom Nitta is a member at large of MSI's board of directors.
We ask that your send your tax deductible contributions to:
Medical Support International
c/o Thom Nitta
2450 Herndon, Apt. 104
Clovis, CA 93611
Thom will ensure that you receive a proper receipt and that the monies are credited to be used only in Independencia. If you have any questions, please contact Thom Nitta at (559) 326-7177.
We thank you for your past support and prayers for the clinic.
Respectfully,
Thom Nitta
