Tom Walsh, Fundador de Los Cabos Children’s Foundation: “…The way I look at it is when you drop a stone in a still pond and creats these circles that keeps growing and growing and  turn into tideless waves of love not just circles of love and so, it´s been a wonderful journey…”

Armando, first successful experience starting in 2002

I heard something different in the air

An evil wind passed over me in my sleep

I heard pains and tears

No more joys or cheers

Loneliness has found me, and yes

 I was ready to give up and vanish into nothingness

Tears filled my eyes

I couldn't believe I almost gave up on them

But within those tears was a hope newly found

One strong enough to fight

and get my name back

Because I know…I was not abandoned

Armando Quiñones

In 2002 he was 3 when got a blood disorder

Now I 22 and is a brilliant student and a healthy young man

 

Evangelina Burgoin: “…Well, sometimes the hospital didn't have them, and that's where Los Cabos Children’s Foundation came in to support us with medication.

They did all his lab tests on January 7th and they came out very well.

He goes to school, he’s here in his ranch. He's 6 years old right now. He was 16 months old when he started”

 

Leo Álvarez: “…Yes, they injected me here to cure me. Sometimes on Wednesdays, then on Thursdays, and now I'm not going to go. I just have to go for my check-up, because I’m now under surveillance.

Yes, I'm happy, but I still have to go to the hospital, not to get shots, but to get checked”

 

Mario Valdivieso: “…Well, we went to Mexico City thinking he was going to have surgery or they would do something to him, but we were told that it had to be done many years later, like 7 or 8 years. He needed the surgery sooner!

He had surgery three years ago... he runs, screams, cries and is a happy child. He spends his time laughing most of the time...”

 

Martha Pérez: “…Apparently he was born well when the doctor handed him to me, but he was not growing normally. He didn’t raise his head, did not crawl in time, everything happened late. He was diagnosed with cerebral palsy at 11 months, and since then, he’s been in rehabilitation therapies. I have taken him to DIF and CRIT.

We move in a public transportation, but I have to carry him in my arms when he gets tired. I pick him up and I also take his walker to move forward, but we still have to walk some more…

 

I've been told that he's going to be able to walk without a walker”

 

Evelyn Trejo, Dir. Hossana: “…The horse's walk is very similar to that of a human. When we place a child on top of the horse, a very similar movement of the locomotion pattern is exerted through the spine that sends a signal to the brain as if he were walking”

 

Griselda Casimiro: ”…She weighed 2.6 pounds when she was born and was in an incubator for 43 days. That caused her retina to dettach and she lost her sight.

I started taking her to several doctors to Mexico City and Guadalajara, until I was told there was no solution.

I really cried a lot, I got frustrated, I didn't know what to do, I wanted to disappear...

Through the horses she learned to know all the animals by listening. She can recognize everything with her hands, she says her hands listen”

 

Bonnie Bottoms, Donor: "...Give back to people that need help, to be able to help children with health issues is profound”

 

Korey Riggs, former Executive Director of the Los Cabos Children’s Foundation (LCCF): “…

You are gonna see wonderful things are going on, and we can fundamentally change the world down here, there is a lot of problems here, but there is nothing in comparison to the amount of resources that we can bring to bear, if everyone just jump in and get involved”

 

Marisa Comella, Los Cabos Children’s Foundation Executive Director: “­­… Los Cabos Children’s Foundation it´s about community work during 17 years a long side 66 different organizations. It´s about opening one voice for Los Cabos and reaching 30,000 kids from all over the estate   LCCF strengthening our community transforming families and saving children”

 

Tom Walsh, Fundador de Los Cabos Children’s Foundation: “… It's reaching out and become more and more of the community, and it's really pull this community together, and before the Children's Foundation, families didn't have much hope and the one gift I think we given this families and this kids it is hope”
