NECO will augment its previous support by
working throughout 2007 with Gift of Life
USA, Gift of Life Italy and Ospedali Riuniti
di Bergamo, to make possible 150 heart
operations for children from Gaza in the Middle East. Dr. Giancarlo Crupi, Chief of
Pediatric Cardiac Surgery at Ospedali
Riuniti, and surgical teams from around the
world, will enable children to receive the
highly specialized cardiac surgery in the
Arab sector of Jerusalem, where it has
never before been available. The doctors
treating these indigent children, all of whom
suffer from congenital heart disease, work
on a completely voluntary basis. NECO is
committed both to underwriting medical
costs and to providing transportation from
Gaza to Jerusalem.
In his work with Gift of Life, Dr. Crupi has
taught innumerable cardiac surgeons the
exacting techniques of pediatric open-heart
surgery, so that they can bring these
life-saving skills back to their own
populations.

| Providing life-saving surgery to critically ill children |
|
Through Gift of Life's Save-a-Child program, NECO has for many
years brought children from foreign nations for life-saving
surgery in the United States.
Since its inception in 1975, Gift of Life here and abroad has treated children
with life-threatening cardiac disorders-infants through 18 years-from scores
of countries, including Afghanistan, Bolivia, Cambodia, Dominican Republic,
Egypt, Haiti, India, Iraq, Jordan Nigeria, Peru, Sri Lanka, Uganda, Ukraine,
Zimbabwe and more. Ellis Island Medal of Honor recipient Aldo G. Frustaci,
Esq., is Chairman of this remarkable organization.
NECO has been proud to help make open-heart operations possible, bringing
children and their families to the United States from countries where such
advanced surgery is not available. Just this past January, NECO and Gift of Life
brought 3 year old Argille Daley from Jamaica for successful heart surgery.
Five more children are due for surgery sponsored by NECO in the near future. |
