Angela! 

The Golden Rotary helped this young girl from Honduras come to Denver so she could have corrective surgery for a fused jaw.

 

Angela and her guardian, Harriet.

James Latta, DDS 

 

Dr. Robert Christensen is the founder of TMJ Implants of Golden, which provided the jaw implant that will enable Angela's jaw move again.

Many of our Rotarians took an active role in helping Angela make the trip to Denver.  

Frank Darrow, Bob Short, and Dr. Diplacido
Dr. Diplacido flew here from Florida to perform the surgery.  
He plans to teach the procedure to Honduran surgeons.

  • Heather Duncan called her sister, who works for the Marriott corporation, and found a month's free lodging for Angela and her guardian at a Marriott property!

  • John Henry's wife Ana provided translation services.

  • Frank Darrow was a chauffeur extraordinaire during their month in Denver, and is now Angela's honorary grandpa.

  • Many club members contributed winter clothes, to allow the tropical pair to live comfortably in a Colorado December.
