Maria Angelica Update - We wanted to provide some follow-up and say thanks again for all the support and donations that changed Marie Angelica's life.  All the surgeries to repair her cleft pallet went very well and she is doing great. Your donations not only changed her little life, but also caused great changes for her whole family.  Mayela, Marie Angelica's mom, has returned to her normal social and loving character and is no longer plagued with the depression caused by the stress of caring for a deformed child.  Not only did your donations help give Maria Angelica a better life, they helped give 3 other siblings there mother back and Abel his wife back.  You most likely will never fully realize the impact you made on this family and this community with your generosity.

With all the negativity with the current economic state, we hope this will cheer up your day.  Attached is a picture of her taken Christmas morning at Playa Santana, with her older sister.  Hard to believe it is the same child.  Thanks again!
