Exactly one year ago, Infantis Sanum Foundation was legally born in the Unites States. Now, we celebrate our first year with flying colors. In November 2003, during our official presentation to the Latin Community in Miami, at CITIBANK, we heard about a girl called Sindy Tatiana Forero. She is a Colombian girl suffering from the Turner Syndrome, which is a genetic disease caused by a missing "X" chromosome.
The Institute of Health (NIH) in Bethesda, Maryland has invited her to receive treatment and prescriptions medicine for life. Until now it had been impossible to get a humanitarian visa so Sindy and her mother could travel to the US. Infantis Sanum's SPIN THE WHEEL started a campaign to help her out and we are happy to announce that after our efforts, the US Embassy in Bogota, finally gave Sindy and her mother a Visa on February 19th, 2004. On March 1st, 2004, both Sindy Tatiana and her mother will travel via American Airlines (who gave free airline tickets to both) to Bethesda, Maryland. INFANTIS SANUM is going to visit her during her stay at Bethesda and bring you up to date on her condition.
We are opening a very important door for other girls that suffer this same syndrome. HAPPY ANNIVERSARY, INFANTIS SANUM FOUNDATION !!!!!
