At Ohana One, we believe that quality healthcare is a right, not a privilege—no matter where you live. Today, we want to share an inspiring story that showcases the incredible impact of global collaboration: the journey of Erick, a courageous young man from Honduras.

Erick has faced tremendous challenges. Diagnosed with a condition that requires specialized traction surgery, his options in Honduras were limited—many of the necessary resources and expertise simply weren’t available. But thanks to his unwavering determination and the support of the Ohana One community, hope has emerged on the horizon.

We are thrilled to announce that on September 23, Erick will undergo his traction surgery at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles, under the expert care of Dr. Illingsworth. This surgery is not just a medical procedure; it represents a new chapter filled with possibilities that were once out of reach for Erick.

A heartfelt thank you goes out to Cristina Farrut, our dedicated Mission Manager, who connected Erick’s parents with the right team of doctors. Her commitment ensures that he receives the highest standard of treatment, and her compassion embodies the essence of Ohana One.

Erick’s story is a powerful testament to the transformative impact of surgical access. It reminds us all that behind every medical procedure is a journey of resilience, hope, and a future waiting to be embraced. As he prepares for his surgery, we invite you to join us in sending your thoughts, prayers, and well-wishes. Your support makes a difference!

Stay connected with us for updates on Erick’s progress. Together, we can continue to bridge the gap between those in need and the life-saving care they deserve. Thank you for being an essential part of the Ohana One family and for helping to make stories like Erick’s possible.
