All remains quiet in Acuna. We have another little boy in need of help. He arrived at the hospital for acute appendicitis, but was also found to have leukemia. It seems that there is either a high incidence of cancer in this area or that I am simply stumbling across every case.
In an odd twist of fate, a woman came up to ask if Elias remembered her. Several years ago she came to us for help because her child suffered from leukemia. She said that when she met us the first time, she thought the world was over. "I was desperate. We could not afford treatments. We thought our child was certain to die."
Paper Houses provided help and as the situation seemed to be improving, we moved on to other children in need.
The lady said she was not able to phone us because our number changed. She said that she kept praying she would see us again so she could thank us. Her child is completely recovered! Her child is doing great in school and she invited us to visit her family. We will stop by in July.
