Thanks to the incredibly generous donations of family, friends, fellow students, and colleagues, we raised nearly $6,600 and gave out 225 scarves in return! We have been overwhelmed by the amount of monetary and moral support that we have received and feel blessed to be surrounded by such supportive and giving people.
We are currently working with Dr. Romero and the Viedma staff to make our first donation, which will most likely be an anesthesiology monitor to be used in a 2nd operating room currently under development.
This will allow the anesthesiologists and surgeons to perform safer operations and will directly enhance the quality of the care offered to the children treated at the burn center.
The machine, if purchased in South America, will cost approximately $3,000, therefore leaving a significant amount of money still to be donated. We will update you as soon as we make further plans for the remaining amount!
