01/2011 - Manuel

To Whom It May Concern:

Hello, my name is Gabriela Hydle and I am a Guatemalan, currently living in California. With the support of friends and family I have been trying to help people in Guatemala, especially children that come from low-income families.

On my last trip to Guatemala, I had the opportunity to meet Manuel Fernando, he is a nine-year-old boy with a facial hemangioma. His mom is a hard worker and as any mother she wants the best for her son; but when you don’t have the income it makes the situation much more difficult.

After meeting with Manuel Fernando and his mom, I wanted to do something to help. She had tried getting help in Guatemala but after paying for testing she was told that there were no specialist's in Guatemala that could help her son.

I understand that it is a lot to ask but I have brought back a copy of the imagery from the test run on Manuel, which includes a vascular, angio and craneo study of the problem area. The imagery is on a CD and is self contained using Syngo FastView by Siemens. If you feel that you could or would like to help, any help would be appreciated.

Thank you

Gabriela Hydle
