Antonio - thanks for the update .... please let us know when you can how short we are - it helps so much 'cause you feel the energy of making the
number reach the total we want, need, will get !!
Itzel will have the time of her life on that plane and God will watch over her so she can fly back home real soon for part 2 of her "vacations".
This is the part of our community I most appreciate. Coming together and making a huge difference in Itzel's life. Maybe she'll become a heart
surgeon after all this. Or maybe a pilot.

Thanks, Nomads
http://forums.bajanomad.com/viewthread.php?tid=35475#pid3735...
2 years ago (God, it seems like a decade already!) our beautiful sister Elsa Aguilar Gerardo was killed by the senseless cartel violence at her taco
stand "La Mijita" in El Rosario. we last saw her 3 weeks before that fateful morning and her beautiful, smiling face still shines in our memories. so
many of you dug deep and raised around $1000 for the family of Elsa, with Doug and Antonio's help!
now, a little beacon of hope is waiting for her chance at a long, healthy life in El Rosario. sweet little Itzel, almost sounds like Elsa, dontcha
think? she wants to grow up, get married, and see her kids enjoy a full
life. she will probably never know most of you, but as she grows up she will put a face to each of you in her dreams and thank you as she falls
asleep.
what more could you ask for?
Bia and i just doubled up our donation. Buena Suerte, Itzel!!!

I agree with Shari's statement. The "new" great surf fisherman of Asuncion just added to the total. I know we'll get info about the upcoming
dinner. Thx to all.

Las Vegas...
Dear friends,
Itzel and her mom are already in Las Vegas... Andy and I came along to help and support in anyway we can.
Dr. Rothman will see Itzel in a couple of hours to make sure she is ready for the operation... and if everything goes well, Itzel should be operated
on tomorrow, November 16th, 2010, around 10:00am.
Before I forget... so far, the total amount of money, us BajaNomads, have donated for Itzel's operation was a little over $ 2,000 dlls.
Andy was also able to get donations from other sources and together, with previous donations Commitment had received and some additional funds pledged
or expected, we raised around $6,000 dlls towards Itzel's operation.
After the operation and once we are back home, I will ask Andy to help us with some more accurate numbers.
We gave Itzel a huge push towards her operation my friends!!!... We should be proud... but we are not done yet... the operation is tomorrow and then
we will need to pay for her recovery expenses, including medications, tests, trips to the doctor, etc... so there is still time to make a donation if
you have not done so yet.
I will be back soon with some pictures and more info.
Hugs and thank you so much for helping Itzel.

Final Check Up...
Nov 15th, 2010 / 3:37pm.... We have just returned from Dr. Rothman's office... he made a final examination of Itzel and besides clearing her for the
operation, also gave a full explanation to her mom about the procedure that will take place tomorrow Nov. 16th, around 10:00am.
There are some risks... but Dr. Rothman assured the mother they will do their best to minimized them.
We will have an update for you tomorrow as soon as we have more information.
Thanks for all your support.
