Claudia here ; )

Sorry we haven't written on the blog for a while. We have been living in a rental house (with no internet) near town in Sonoma since the 13th of this month because the septic system backed up and we weren't able to take showers, go to the bathroom, or do any laundry, ect... (which stinks). I went to visit my mom today (of coarse most of you know her as Abelina) and my uncle Jesse was there too. My mom has been doing very well lately. She seems to be very rested and in very good spirits. We now are only waiting for the arrival of my mom's (Abelina's) wheelchair to move on and move to Arizona, which should be coming on the 19th of this month if all goes well : )

I've missed seeing you on Monday nights Claudia! Hope you are doing okay, despite the sewer problems you've had to deal with! And thank you for writing about how your mom is doing- as you know there are a lot of us out here who think about and pray for your mom everyday! And our prayers always include you, Abraham and Angel too! (And Peanut too)
I'm planning on writing to you guys when you get settled in Arizona, and I hope you'll always let us know how things are going. Keep in mind that no distance is too great for friendship!!
Love you tons! Say Hi to angel:)

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!
