THE GIFT OF LIFE PROGRAMThe Rotary Club of the Bronx is very proud to be a co-sponsor of our eleventh child with the Gift of Life program. Working with the Rotary Club of the Pelhams, we have brought 3 year old Austin Egberuare to the U.S. from Nigeria for his life-saving surgery to repair his heart. He was accompanied by his mother Gloria and will stay with Megan Charlop for his recovery period. His surgery was performed at Montefiore Children's Hospital by Dr. Samuel Weinstein on November 16, 2009, and he came through with flying colors. More photos of the dramatic transformation will be posted as they become available. |
Austin arrived as a very sick little boy. The long trip from Nigeria obviously wore him out. |
