THE STORY OF BRENDITA
My housekeeper is one of my closest friends.  Despite our cultural and age differences, we have bonded like family.

It concerned me one day when she was upset and depressed over an incident with her 8 year old daughter, Brendita.  She was born with crossed eyes, a feature that was drawing negative attention and causing headaches and vision problems.

As kids do, they began teasing Brendita unmercifully, causing depression and a drop in her grades that she already struggled with due to her poor and double vision.


Some members of their church as well as my family heard this story and agreed to pay for her operation.  In August of 2008, we began to visit pediatric opthamologist in San Jose.  After seeing several, we chose one from Clinica Biblica who is world renown for his work with children, Dr. Dario DeCalice. He operated on her Dec. 12th, 2008, and it was a quick surgery that healed quickly without the need for external stitches.

For Brendita and Rosa, it was a cherished experience.  Everyone in the Clinica Biblica made them feel comfortable.  The hospital itself is more like a hotel than a medical facility.  The restaurants in the both of food courts were so good that it was hard to make a choice.  They were able to explore the city from the heights of the 5th floor patio/ lounge.  For me, it was an even bigger pleasure since the operation and all of the expenses cost less than 1/5 of the price in the States.

It changed Brenda´s life.  She now wonders if the soccer goals that she scored while seeing double count as two points.  She can run, read, play and look people directly in the eye without frustration.  Her main goal is to learn English well and thank my family and their friends who helped her.  I thank Clinica Biblica and Dr. DeCalice for making this a pleasant and affordable experience for all of us.
