Good man Antonio! Thanks.
My wallet opens up tonight for this.

I just checked the paypal site and saw how to make a donation to Commitment. Do I have to do anything special to direct my donation to Itzel?

Before you hit the final button, there will be a place where you can open a small box and type in her name there. I think it said special
instructions?
What I found confusing, but it might just be me, is after you enter the amount of your donation, you have to hit the update button before you can
enter the payment information.
Good Luck

Typical Americans
That's what I love about my fellow Nomads! If there is a problem, especially with a child, Nomads jump and say "how high" on the way up. You all rock.
Count me in too. God bless all of you!!

Antonio
since you brought this little girl to our attention, will you promise to keep us updated on her progress? i hope this doesn't turn into a "holiday
spirit" cause and then nothing out the other end. el rosario is full of great folks and we want to follow her progress.
Gracias Sr!

With pleasure...
Woody... it will be a real pleasure for me to keep you all informed about Itzel's progress.
I am actually working very close with Andy on this project... and I am sure that with all our help and support, Itzel will have a real opportunity in
life.
And sanquintinsince73 ... you are totally right... this is why I am really proud to be part of this awesome community.
Hugs everyone,
Antonio M.

You can find Commitment, Inc. on the web at: www.makeacommitment.org (Best if you use Google and key in Commitment, Inc.)... here is the hyperlink for you: Commitment, Inc
Commitment started in 2005 and is a 501(C) 3 Non-Profit Organization recognized by the IRS. A letter from the IRS is on the site. We can provide tax
deductible receipts.
The site shows a picture of Itzel and describes her condition. She is 5 years old and was badly misdiagnosed, given little medication, treatment or
hope. In a word, malpractice.
Commitment has worked with Hospital Del Prado in Tijuana on 4 successful heart operations already. We are negotiating with them as well as a U.S.
hospital to the get the best possible combination of treatment and price for Itzel.
The website also mentions a heart operation done recently for a guide from the Sierra de San Francisco named Santos. We are still doing follow up work
with him and he will likely need to come back to Tijuana early next year for another checkup. The “Completed Projects” shows the 15 surgeries that
Commitment has played a major part in.
Some individuals have asked about the Shriners Hospital in Los Angeles. The Shriners only do orthopedic work, which Itzel does not need. Commitment
has done some projects with the Shriners already.
Commitment is hoping that you will want to help Itzel with her operation. You can remit funds via paypal or by check:
If by Paypal you may use this link: Commitment at PayPal, or you can also use our PayPal e-mail address: commitment@nethere.com
By Check, made payable and sent to:
Commitment, Inc.
PO Box 178309
San Diego, CA 92177
We thank you for your consideration. Together we can make a difference!!!

"Pay It Forward"
OK-so who's walking the walk here?
Andy will be updating the latest news very soon and it is exciting! Thanks Antonio for alerting this site-if it wasn't for you, Andy might not have
been alerted to this girl!!! You know after seeing the move Pay It Forward my life took on a new direction. I wear a plastic bracelet that says
"Pay It Forward" and do just that. Now is the time for the Nomads here to really have an impact on someone who so dearly needs it. AND you'll get to
see the results too!
