Our hearts are broken by the tragic death of two beloved members of our community Valentina Guzman Murillo and her mom Lizeth Murillo Osuna as well as the lives of the 4 professional providers on board the plane and bystanders killed or injured on the ground in Philadelphia. We have worked together with Valentina and her mom for the past 5 years to assist with her Spina Bifida condition and her numerous health challenges at His Wings Ranch where we serve special needs kids in Maneadero, Mexico.  

 

Lizeth applied for desperately needed medical care from Shriners hospital and Valentina was approved for services at their Philadelphia hospital to address a pressure sore associated with her Spina bífida condition. After receiving months of treatment at Shriner’s hospital, Valentina and her mother were flying back to Tijuana (in route to Ensenada, Mexico) when the accident occurred. 

 

Valentina and Lizeth lived here in Ensenada with Lizeth’s incredibly supportive parents who fought alongside Lizeth for the best quality of life possible for Valentina. She was deeply loved and adored.  Valentina’s mother was one of the most attentive and loving mothers a child could have, never leaving her side. We ask that Valentina’s grand parents are given time to process their tremendous loss and grief in peace. We are forever thankful to Shriners hospital for providing high quality medical care for Valentina and for providing so much peace and reassurance for Lizeth who knew her daughter was getting the best care available.  

 

Valentina and Lizeth lived every moment together and they entered eternity together. Our hope and comfort is in the Lord Jesus, that they have run the race and they are forever together. Please pray that with this tragedy, beauty will come from the ashes, that we at His Wings Ranch may continue to work together to fight alongside parents like Lizeth to improve the quality of life for their children who need help regardless of the country where they were born. For more about the work we do at His Wings Ranch for special needs kids please see this brochure.
