2022 ANNUAL APPEAL LETTER
Dear Friend,
We are pleased to report that HEALING THE CHIDREN NORTHEAST has been able to resume our
surgical and dental missions following the hiatus caused by the pandemic.
Since the start of 2022, we have sent surgical missions to Santa Cruz Bolivia, Ivano-Frankivsk
Ukraine, Santa Marta Colombia, and a dental mission to Riobamba Ecuador.
The mission to the Ukraine was a very special undertaking. It was a departure from our usual
focus of treating children. Because we felt the need for our services was so urgent and so necessary,
three members of our Board of Directors (a surgeon and two nurses), and two others of our volunteer
physicians partnered with the charitable arm of The Academy of Facial and Reconstructive Surgery –
Face to Face to a hospital in eastern Ukraine to perform reconstructive surgery on Ukrainian soldiers and
civilians suffering catastrophic injuries relating to the conflict in the Ukraine. It was an extraordinary
mission and we are so proud of them for their desire to help, their courage, and their commitment to
humanity. Fortunately, they all returned safely.
Future missions already in the planning stages include Santa Cruz Bolivia, Cartagena Colombia,
and Ica Peru.
I cannot stress enough how important it is for us to continue our work. All members of our
mission teams are volunteers. When we travel, we transport all our necessary equipment and supplies
to the sites (sometimes quite remote areas).
Your continued support is essential for us to fulfill our mission and to treat children in need
around the world. Thank you for your continued support.
Warmest regards,
Robert D. Ryan
President, Board of Directors
