To do this, we:

Respond quickly with donated funds, goods and services to
urgent needs identified by health care staff

Bring material support directly to our neighbors’ homes and
stay in touch until the crisis is past

Will Bobby Walk Again?

Assistant Network Coordinator Raquel Salinas reports that six year-old Bobby suffers from seizures and entered L.A. County + USC Medical Center Women's and Children's Hospital two months ago for emergency surgery to relieve pressure on his brain. Since the surgery, his mother has had to quit her job to be at her son's bedside. Even though Dad is still working, that poses a financial hardship for a family with four other children, ages 12, 11, 3 and a one year-old. Up to now, AIN has assisted the family with food vouchers and clothing for the children.

Now some good news for Bobby also means that his mother will need additional assistance for transportation. He is now eligible for rehabilitation and will be transferred to Rancho Los Amigos Hospital in Downey. He cannot talk or walk yet, but he is able to move his hands and eat when fed. His mother intends to be there to support her son's rehabilitation, but the daily bus ride from East Los Angeles to Downey will be expensive for the family. A neighbor kindly helps watch the other children in the family while the father works and while Mom has tended to Bobby in the hospital. AIN is now supplying bus passes to cover the first couple of weeks of daily trips.

It is a privilege for us at AIN to support this family in providing crucial emotional support to a six year-old facing the big challenge of rehabilitation. We'll be keeping Bobby and his family in our prayers and hope that you will too.
