Dr Rick Hodes has met with 3 different world-class spine surgeons in the Los Angeles area. ALL agreed to do 3 spinal cases per year at no cost. Tuberculosis of the spine is a major problem in Ethiopia and children are left deformed and debilitated. Here is what Dr. Rick says,
"The limiting factor seems to be the lack of host families. If you could ask your circle of friends if any of them might be interested in hosting an Ethiopian child, it would be great. They would truly be helping to save a child's life." The Ethiopian Family Fund is working with the organization named "Mending Kids" to help Dr. Rick find host families.
