In Memory of Valentina

By J. Wayne Kiger-Rice | Project Leader/Director/Co Founder

Valentina & Lizeth

This month we are sharing a story (and ministry) very dear to our hearts. You would have heard in recent news, of the small medical plane that crashed in Philadelphia. Sue, a missionary nurse friend, cared dearly for one of the victims at her ministries therapeutic ranch for disabled children in Maneadro; a small rural agricultural town just south of Ensenada Mexico.

Over the past couple of years we were blessed and honored to meet Sue, visit the ranch a couple of times, and deliver donated medical supplies and horse gear. After this tragedy, we have connected another colleague ministry, Circle of Concern, who are collecting medical supplies for the ranch at this very moment, including a needed activac negative pressure machine to close pressure sores. (A resource that had been needed to help Valentina - and will help many others in the future).

Please take a moment and visit His Wings Ranch website. With all that is going on in the world, I promise it is uplifting to see the joy of these kids from the love and care they receive. And thank you for your support of our ongoing prioject in memory of Valentina!

"Our hearts are broken by the death of two beloved members of our community, Valentina Guzman Murillo and her mom Lizeth Murillo Ozuna as well as the lives of the 4 professional providers on board the plane, and bystanders killed or injured on the ground in the plane crash in Philadelphia on January 31st. We have worked together with Valentina and her mom for the past 5 years, to assist with her Spina Bifida condition and her numerous health challenges at His Wings Ranch.
Lizeth applied for desperately needed medical care from Shriners hospital, and Valentina was approved for services at their Philadelphia hospital to address a pressure sore associated with her Spina bífida condition. After receiving months of treatment at Shriner's hospital, Valentina and her mother were flying back to Tijuana (in route to Ensenada, Mexico) when the accident occurred.
Valentina and Lizeth lived here in Ensenada with Lizeth's incredibly supportive parents, who fought alongside Lizeth for the best quality of life possible for their grand daughter Valentina. She was deeply loved and adored. Valentina's mother was one of the most attentive and loving mothers a child could have, never leaving her side. We ask that Valentina's grand parents are given time to process their tremendous loss and grief in peace. We are forever thankful to Shriners hospital for providing high quality medical care for Valentina and for providing so much peace and reassurance for Lizeth who knew her daughter was getting the best care available.
Valentina and Lizeth lived every moment together and they entered eternity together. Our hope and comfort is in the Lord Jesus, that they have run the race and they are forever together. Please pray that with this tragedy, beauty will come from the ashes, that we at His Wings Ranch may continue to work together to fight alongside parents like Lizeth to improve the quality of life for their children who need help regardless of the country where they were born." - Sue Fasino

Gratitude from project recipients

By J. Wayne Kiger-Rice | Project Leader

We wanted to share, in this quarters report, a few notes of thanks from some of those your support helps.

1) Good evening. We appreciate the support that you have given us thanks to the donations. My children have the opportunity to continue their studies. We are also grateful for the families that are helped. The help blesses us with food and, personally, the fundamental support that you have given my children in their studies and in the support of the surgeries that they have had. I would also like to thank you on behalf of Mrs. Amelia. Thank you all for your donations. God bless you all.

2) Hello, my wife and I have a small ministry where we have discipled young people from the university. Some of them have reached baptism and served in the local church. We also support the planting of a church. The support we receive from our brother Wayne helps us in our ministry to continue reaching young people, inviting them to a meal and connecting them to Jesus. In addition, he helps my family and I with transportation to the church that we support since it is quite far away.

3) Hello Wayne, I am studying Administration at the Tijuana Institute of Technology, thanks to your support I have been able to continue with my studies and I have recently moved on to the third semester of my degree, I hope you can continue helping many more young people as well as me, thank you for everything, blessings.

4) Hello my brother, for us, we use your support this way: 50% of it is used to buy baby items such as diapers, towels, milk, and the other 50% is used to make a pantry as stocked as we can to donate to a charity. family friend of ours It should be added that when I don't have a job, we use that 50% to pay the rent or to do our groceries. Thank you very much for the support, the truth is that it is of great help in moments of despair.

5) I want to take a moment to express to you everything I feel and how grateful I am for everything you have done for me. You are a father to me; You are a mentor, a guide and an example to follow in all aspects of my life. Thank you for your constant support in my studies, thanks to this I continue to achieve my goals of improving myself every day. You have been an inexhaustible source of motivation and confidence, always encouraging me to do my best and keep moving forward, no matter what obstacles arise. Not only have you helped me achieve my academic goals, but you have also been fundamental in important aspects such as my American visa, which is in process and I hope to have it soon. Thank you for helping me with my passport, opening doors to new opportunities and experiences that I would never have had imagined. In addition to all this, I deeply appreciate your dedication to youth charity activities. You have instilled in me the value of helping others and serving the community with love and compassion. These moments have been inspiring and have taught me the true meaning of generosity. Your example and guidance have helped me grow spiritually, and you have been a light on my path, guiding me with wisdom and love toward a deeper relationship with God. You are a fundamental pillar in my life, and I feel blessed to have you by my side. With all our love and gratitude.
