Clear Vision For Angel!
Seeing clearly for the first time. That’s the experience Angel had when he looked through corrective lenses to see his doctor Whitney Hardeman in focus for the first time. Just when you thought His Wings Ranch was doing plenty of miracles with physically disabled kids and those with developmental delays we’re here to tell you that we also help kids to see.
Sometimes a special pair of corrective glasses is all it takes to restore vision to kids who’ve never had it before.
Medical Help from 31 Azusa Pacific Student Nurses
When it comes to medical assistance we were fortunate to have been visited recently by Azusa Pacific University who brought 31 volunteers who transformed our community portable into a medical clinic. They are one of many universities who volunteer their time and expertise to help on the ranch.
The students are very attentive and thorough in their assessment of their patients often working in collaborative teams.

The result is not just a happy Andrea but a happy Adan as well.

We Provide Critical Medical Supplies
This important shipment of “Negative Pressure Treatments” (NPT) arrived after being held up at customs at the border for months. NPT’s are key to help treat chronic pressure sore wounds on children who lack mobility. Valentina was one such child patient suffering from a pressure sore from her spina-bifida condition before being treated in the United States from advanced complications. Having these types of medical treatments on hand enables Sue to offer ways to treat wounds early so that kids don’t find themselves needing more complicated treatments later.
Support for Life Changing Surgeries

Critical Medical Care
With 80 kids receiving services at the ranch some have reoccurring medical needs that require intense coordination, tracking, transportation and specialized medical care. Melinna is one such child now living at the ranch. She requires dialysis 3 days a week because of her kidney dysfunction. That and her other health conditions related to her being in a wheelchair require care givers around the clock to maintain and monitor her health.
After struggling to stay alive for years at other facilities Sue and Johnny saw the need to intervene. They brought her to live at the ranch where they facilitate transporting her to dialysis 3 days a week.
After a year with Sue and Johnny at His Wings Ranch Melinna is thriving having just turned 15 and celebrated an amazing Quinceanera! She is one of dozens of kids that require regular medical care to survive.
