Jeremi is a four year old Indigenous boy living in Ecuador. August 15, 2015, the day that changed his life, he was sitting with his mother in a public taxi and faced a terrible accident in which Jeremi was seriously injured. The doctors gave him no chance to survive, but he fought. He was just 22 months old then. Jeremi lost his right eye, nose, upper jaw, palate and a piece of bone on the forehead. Up to this date, he has had over 20 surgical procedures.
This year we will have another chance to fly to Germany at Diakonie krankenhaus in Bad Kreuznach. The doctors plan to get him new lips. The costs of surgery and hospitalization are covered by the hospital. Jeremi will be flying to Germany with his mother in October. We need help with the airline tickets for Jeremi and his mother, for food and lodging during the time that he does not need to be in the hospital. Jeremi now goes to school. He also needs a new prosthesis for his face, since the old one is no longer usable. We appreciate your help, donations and sharing his story with other people who can help us. Thank you very much again for your generous donations.

Jeremi es un niño indio de cuatro años que vive en Ecuador. El 15 de agosto de 2015, estaba sentado con su madre en un automóvil que hace viajes en taxi y este tuvo un accidente en el que Jeremi resultó gravemente herido. Los doctores no le dieron oportunidad de sobrevivir, pero luchó. Tenía solo 22 meses en el accidente. Jeremi perdió su ojo derecho en este accidente, su nariz, mandíbula superior, paladar un trozo de hueso en la frente. Siempre debemos ser extremadamente cuidadosos para que no se lastime la frente. Por ahora, ha tenido más de 20 procedimientos quirúrgicos. Este año tenemos otra oportunidad de volar a Alemania en Diakoniekrankenhaus en Bad Kreuznach. Los médicos planean obtener nuevos labios en esta operación. Los costos de la cirugía y la hospitalización están cubiertos por el hospital. Jeremi volará a Alemania con su madre en octubre. Necesitamos ayuda con los boletos de avión para Jeremi y su madre, para comida y alojamiento durante el tiempo que no necesita estar en el hospital. Como Jeremi ahora viene a la escuela, también necesita una nueva prótesis, ya que lo viejo ya no se puede usar. Muchas gracias por su generosa donación
