What It Is About

Posted by on June 3, 2011 in General News

I reflected today about “why” we work to serve the poor. The root of the question is “what is it all about”. Tison is going home soon after being treated here. He was here for a year and a half and had eight surgeries and nine procedures. He was welcomed into a host home and came to be loved by them. When you consider the passport and visa application process and the many cost–you have to ask “why” are we doing this. The reason we do this is the importance of the individual and the prospects of a better future. The poor cannot access this kind of help but our foundation can open those doors.

It is total joy to see these children helped and many who come to our clinic for help. We provide hope for those who need help. We are careful and compassionate in the care.

This week I received news that an infant who was burned in a hot oil spill has been accepted by the Children’s Burn Foundation. Julita will be coming to L.A. for care once she and her mother are awarded visas. They have made an amazing offer to help and the Grossman Burn Center will provide the surgeries.
