We were delighted to see the response to the “cry for help” for Itzel. Andy is a “Newbie” to the Nomads forum but he is a long time traveler of the
back roads of Baja and has over the decades contributed significantly to the well being of the peoples of the ranches and mountains. Commitment, Inc.
was founded in 2005 to provide effective, time-sensitive medical care and support for persons who have no alternatives. He has independently
assembled a binational group of medical experts and support that have provided care that goes far beyond that listed at the Commitment web site. All
of the donations go to helping those in need. We have supported these efforts for almost 20 years and will continue.
These people need your help. They are the ones who helped pull your car out of the ditch, shared their lunch with you on the banks of the flooded
vado, and were grateful for the small gifts you carried south. Please give as much as you can to help those with far fewer resources.

When I sent daughter Kristin the link to Andy's site she replied with a request that instead of a Christmas gift to her this year I should send
another contribution to Andy in her name. Makes me feel pretty good about the person she grew up to be.

I am close to being as proud of your daughter as you are. You both did good.
Thanks, Kurt.

Thanks, I appreciate your comment. Kristin is an "Old Baja Hand." I first took her and her brother to Mulege in 1975 where the 3 of us lived off and
on during their pre-school years and she has continued to visit as much as her adult working life has allowed. I hope others will be motivated by her
generousity and donate to this good cause as well.

Just an Idea
I just put the link to Andy's Organization, some information about Itzel, and her picture on my facebook page.
Sorry, I did not ask permission to use the photo and I do not normally use the photos of others, but this time I did so.

I'm in. Remember this is a six year old girl from Baja and she is about to be overwhelmed by Doctors and hospitals. She's gonna need a teddy bear,
or maybe a hundred teddy bears to share with her friends.

paypal done for the little beauty.
bajaCactus or a-commit, perhaps re-post the paypal/donation information periodically to keep it easy for new readers to find the links.
Thanks for all your help to those who need it.

Make this thread a 'sticky' for a while, until she returns back home. Like bajajudy's 'THE LIST'.
It would be great if that could also be done by way of 'Today's Posts' but don't think that's possible.

Just to bump this info along with the thread:
| Quote: | Originally posted by a-commit
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!!!

You Know it is so easy to say, Pay Pal is too hard or I will catch someone next time around, and just drop the ball and go on with Life.
So I decided I would take the time and find out how to make a donation, so I did and I feel so good, This is the Holidays and Christmas what a
Christmas Present for this little one to be able to have her LIFE.
I made a Donation on behalf of this little Angel.
I Pray that the ministering Angels will be there with and for you.
God Bless
