A Father's plea - Jamaica - Issa Trust Foundation

Diane Pollard, Vice President, Issa Trust Foundation stated, I still lie awake at night with the pictures of the childrens faces that we were unable to help, but if we could have seen some of the children earlier would have been able to make a difference. I remember the father who brought his child in to see us pleading for us to find the miracle he needed to save his daughter. At the age of 5 his daughter fell at school, and appeared to have a seizure, but medical doctors were unable to find anything wrong. Nine months later she fell again with another more serious seizure. At the age of 10, we first met the family, and again this year the father carried his daughter in for a final plea. He said he will be haunted by the feeling that because he did not have the money to get the care needed for his child, he failed his daughter. As I sat in the office, talking to him while waiting to see Dr. Toledo, he told me his story of spending 100% of his time with his beautiful little girl, and his total dedication to his child. His passion, and determination was so real, and he continued to thank me for taking time to ask questions, since no one has ever spent the time we did. I left the room saying a prayer for their family, their child and wishing we could have seen her when this happened, because I know we could have made a difference.
