New Missions at Angel Notion

We have several medical missions coming from 15 February thru the end of March.

Dr. Lapine is coming the 7th 8 th 9 th 10 th of March to manage swallowing studies for stokes, embolias and any swallowing studies.... with camera.
This marks his 45th mission with Angel Notion.

Dr. Prokop is coming with a team of osteopathic doctors to look at strokes embolias muscle bone and tendon aspects... march 7 th 8 th 9 th 10 th.

Dr. Steven Deroos comes in the 31st. Pediatric neurologist, pediatric orthopedist, he will diganose and treat kids with orthothdic issues and diganose brain disorders...


We need people to help cook 7 8 9 10 of march, and we need to see kids and adults with those issues.
We also often need translators.
Anyone who wants to help should call or come to the clinic.

Of course, we are always in need of funding to keep these missions alive.
While the doctors volunteer their time and expertise, there are always expenses involved to complete these life changing missions.

Thanks for your ongoing support.

thanks ladies
lots of good work going on at angel notion
all in addition to the daily clinic work, doctors, dentists, physical therapists, diabetes group, and so much more
it is a real challenge to fund all these projects

and just a reminder for people who pledged money for the surgeries, there are people who are waiting for surgery until they gather enough funds
so if you forgot or something came up, this is a reminder
please reference your donation if you use pay pal

thanks

I just asked that it be used for whatever mission was needed most at the moment, so I imagine it will be put to good use.... but perhaps I should have mentioned the surgeries...

I am overwhelmed....

....at the generousity of the people of my community.....I have spent all day picking up donations of supplies for Angel Notion. I had a wonderful day spent with seniors who just want to help. Everyone of them gave me tea....and one gave me lunch. I enjoyed their company and stories and I am sure they appreciated a visit from someone.

I have received 3 phone calls for financial help as well. Two have been picked up and one will be delivered tomorrow. I also have pledges of additional supplies that I will pick up before I come to Playa on Thurs....Indeed I am overwhelmed....
