Last year, Mayan Families helped C.O.T.A (Children of the America’s) organize a 17yr old boy to go to the U.S. for medical care. It took us a long time; almost two years to find the medical help that COTA so willingly and kindly offered for him. Angel had received a bullet to the jaw during an attempted car robbery. He suffered a broken jaw and had it wired together for over two years, his skin had started to grow over the wires. He had many rotten teeth and abscesses it was discovered when he got to the U.S.
COTA also found out that Angel's jaw was still broken after all this time. They repaired his jaw, his teeth and he was once again able to smile. He is now back in school and is a normal teen-ager again.
Thanks to the care he received, he is able to have his life back again.
Today his mother came with four beautiful hand embroidered wall hangings that she had made.
One was for Mayan Families, one is for Aida who works with COTA in Guatemala City, one is for Jody from COTA and the other is for the family that fostered Angel in the U.S. The mother made these beautiful embroideries herself.
This is a beautiful gift and I was totally surprised to receive it. These are Angel's little sisters and brother holding the wall hangings.
