The Benschop Foundation yesterday donated $100, 000 towards the surgeries needed by Malika Hercules, a child who was born with a cleft palate and dismorphic facial features.Her condition was made worse by a complicated delivery and use of forceps, resulting in cranial damage to the right side of her head.Chief Executive Officer of the Foundation,Larry Doby Indians Jersey, Mark Benschop explained that the entity had previously made donations to Hercules in the form of cash,Pete Rose Reds Jersey, books and other school supplies.Benschop told this newspaper that a United States-based Guyanese,Wholesale Jerseys From China, and member of the Benschop Foundation, Odel Taitt, had met Hercules when he was last in Guyana.Her story touched him and he,Cody Allen Indians Jersey, along with other donors from both Pennsylvania and Washington,Preston Tucker Astros Jersey, secured the money, which they sent to the Foundation.Thus far, the surgeries Hercules underwent have been successful, but more are needed. Apart from the donation from the Benschop Foundation,Johnny Bench Reds Jersey, the Ministry of Health and a private donor have contributed some US$6,000.Hercules’s next surgery involves coronal scar revision and Cranioplasty. This surgery will apparently be scheduled when full payments for the surgery can be paid. A further US$12,475 is still required. |
