HOW TO DONATE:
Donations to help Abelina and her children can be made to the following:
-Tax deductible donations can be made at http://www.ntafund.org/ by entering "Abelina Magana" in the patient's name section on the home page. NTAF will accept checks and credit card donations on Abelina's behalf. Again, donations to NTAF are tax deductible to the full extent of the law.
All donations will be used for in-home care, a wheel chair accessible van and home modifications.
Abelina is currently going through intense rehabiliation and living independently with the help of her 3 children. But they need more help.
Due to the horrific event on October 12th 2007, that changed the Magana family and friends forever. Abelina is now a quagraplegic with a severing of the spinal cord at her C-5 vertebrae. We were all told from the beginning that the odds were against her. If she survived there would be a 50/50 chance that she would not be around that first Christmas. We were told, if she lived that she would most likely live the remainder of her life in a hospital connected to a ventillator in a hospital bed. Now by the grace of God and Abelina's determination to live for her three babies, not only does she breathe on her own, she has movement in her right and left arm. She continues to defy medicine and like her current doctor, Dr. Ng said, "the hospital is learning from her, not the other way around."
Abelina is determined to make a difference and she will. However, due to her signigicant injuries as a quadraplegic and the enormous amount of daily assistance she requires, she is struggling financially. In addition, her kids are struggling emotionally and physically to keep up with her daily needs.
So if you would like to assist Abelina and her kids with their quest for a new beginning, please consider donating to the Magana Family Fund or with a tax deductible donation at http://www.ntafund.org/. Thank you!

We wanted to ask our friends to pray for our friends son Joey Kelly who is 10 years old and facing his second bout of cancer. As if they had not been through enough when he was five and diagnosed it is back! We pray for his strength, health and peace of mind.
What type of fundraiser would you prefer?
Friends and Family of Abelina
Thanks to all of you for your support and prayers...

We know these beautiful children.When Abraham,jr was about 4 my husband gave him a Tonka Truck that was his when he was little,Abelina had told us how much Abraham treasured this truck and it was up on his shelf in his bedroom.When we were at their house in August he brought the truck out to show us he still had it and it looked like a brand new truck he had polished it and taken such good care of it,better than when it was my husband's.This really meant a lot to my husband.Also the night we were there for dinner Abraham,jr was suppose to work but because we were coming over he didn't go to work because he wanted to see us, how many young people would do that.You can tell these children are caring and sweet children,We are praying for them.We love you Abraham, Claudia and Angel.Love From Betty and Wayne
I have to say that I am totally impressed by Abelina's three angels. She has been a great mom and she taught the kids well!
I have seen the three children in and out of the office many times and they have always been very well behaved and extremely friendly. This is normal, I guess, for a lot of kids when they are at their parents’ office.
What really impresses me is when I saw them outside of my office.
Last year, I had to have some landscaping help for my clients. Abraham, Jr. was there along side his cousins helping in the heat of summer, digging trenches and working on the lawn. It was very hard work and he is probably no more than my son's age (14?). He was all smiles and very willing to help. Just great attitude over all, I was so touched by how wonderful he was!
I then spent sometime with Claudia and Angel at the recent Salsa Festival. Abelina asked for help to man the booth, and I went as I could.
Knowing Abelina, she pulled out all stops and there were a lot of things to take care of. Claudia was there helping the whole day. I can image that they came quite early to set up everything and had to be there the whole day. It's very difficult to get a teenager girl to be there on a weekend and Claudia never minded. She helped and directed and she was just great!
I then met Angel in the afternoon. Angel helped with the drawings. He had fun helping other kids with signing up for drawings, telling then when each one will occur, and took great care and honor to draw those names out - Yep, Angel, where is my prize? He was so cute, big smiles, just had a great day.
What great children you have, Abelina; wonderful mom, wonderful kids!
Know that we all care about you, thinking about you and pray for you! Knowing you, you will be with us soon.
Love to you and your angels,
Sylvia
