Athena - FANA's miracle girl

She underwent series of major operations and just last month they mother and Athena went home with brighter smile with hope. Nora and Van really accommodated these two individuals for all the care and love with free boarding , lodging and day and night nursing care during endless recuperation at the entire 6 months. 
 

Here's the pictures of Athena before and after surgery..

Posted December 21, 2009 - 3:36pm by fanagl
In these hard economic times it is not unusual to hear that people are having tough times making ends meet. Perhaps even someone close to you is experiencing a hard time. If you’re feeling frustrated or saddened trying to find ways to help the people in your community, consider volunteering. Volunteering gives you an opportunity to change lives, including your own. Making a difference in someone else’s life will definitely help you improve yours. There is no greater gift than the gift of helping others!
