Our first patient of the Aubrey Rose Foundation's "Healing the World's Hearts" program is finally here!
Pavel, Jennifer, Sasha and Elena arrived Wednesday, November 15 to the rainy weather in Cincinnati.  That didn't dampen their spirits though.  They were elated to be able to get a room at the Ronald McDonald House.  They thought this would be perfect place for them to stay since this is a beautiful home away from home.  When they arrived at the House, they proudly put a push pin into the map of the world of where people came from who have lived at the Ronald McDonald House.  They were the first from the region of Russia that they call home.

Please say a prayer that everything will go smoothly with Elena's surgery and the doctors and nurses will be able to let their talents shine.  Please also pray that the Aubrey Rose Foundation will be able to continue to fund much needed open-heart surgeries for children so that they can live a healthy and productive life with a mended heart!

We have a favor to ask you...

We thought it would be wonderful to invite Aubrey's Foundation supporters to send a note of warm thoughts and kind words to Elena and her family while they are here in Cincinnati.  If you would like to do this, please address these to:

The Cherkasov Family
c/o Ronald McDonald House
350 Erkenbrecher Avenue
Cincinnati, OH  45229

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts and double lungs for helping us welcome the Cherkasov Family to the Aubrey Rose Foundation Family and Cincinnati.
