Support 22 Kids w/ Special Needs at OSSO Orphanage

During the last three months of this year, and thanks to the help of different donors, we have
been able to keep running the Hogar de Ángeles de OSSO.
Twice a month, through the coordination with Hearts of Gold Foundation, we have been
receiving some basic cleaning supplies and food for our kids dotated by Soup Kitchen.
These donations have helped us to cover some of their daily basic needs, and save some
money, which has been used to buy medicine for our kids.
Sadly, during the month of November we had the loss of one of our girls. She got a biliary
colic which ended in a surgery. She didn’t recover well enough, and passed away from
pneumonia. Her cremated remains rest in the mausoleum that we have in the orphanage.
Since November 10th, one of our kids has been hospitalized because of pneumonia caused
mainly by bronchoaspiration of food. As soon as she recovers from pneumonia, she’ll have a
gastrostomy to prevent this condition.
Twice a month we have had field trips with the kids. They have visited several times a park
for kids with special needs, called Parque Inclusivo; also, they’ve been to Mall del Río, and
had ice cream and pizza there. We plan to continue to have these kind of activities with
them, because we count on the donation of a family who volunteered for OSSO years ago.
We are very thankful to all the good and generous people and organizations which continue
to support our project. Without this help, we wouldn’t be able to keep going.
