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...

Happy Almost Birthday Claudia!
<3, Megan
Has it really been almost 13 years? Hard to believe! I remember when you guys came over for Gillians first B-day. You would have been three. We had cake with blue frosting and Gillian got it all over her face and she looked like a smurf!
Claudia, I was thinking about your thoughts about family that you shared on this blog. I think of family like the roots of a tree. They give you life and nourishment. And then God's love is like sunlight- we grow towards it. You will always blossom and grow if you keep your face to the sunshine.
Thinking of you,
Aileen
Little Cayita soup is growing up!!
