It\u2019s never an easy decision to turn someone down. But when it\u2019s a yes, I think that\u2019s when I really appreciate my job.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>According to Kirwan, when Social Activist Mary John contacted the Foundation on Cathya and Laurie\u2019s behalf, a rationale was immediately sent to CAF\u2019s board due to the urgency of Cathya\u2019s situation. Ambassador Ayre\u2019s response came back in quick time. \u201cHis exact words were, \u2018<em>We\u2019re going to help this person.\u00a0 Nobody is beneath some dignity in their life when something like this happens<\/em>,\u2019\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn addition to funding the surgery and hospitalization fees,\u201d Kirwan added, \u201cAmbassador Ayre also authorized flying in Consulting Orthopaedic Surgeon, Dr. Mark Prempeh, from the UK. Dr. Prempeh arrived on island on Saturday afternoon and the 7-hour surgery, which began at approximately 9:45 on Saturday night, was performed at Medical Surgical Associates.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>According to Dr. Prempeh, if Cathya had not undergone this surgery, the nerves that control the muscles of respiration would have been affected, resulting in the inability to breathe independently. The challenging operation is referred to as a Posterior Cervical Reduction and Fixation, which provides realignment and stabilization of spinal segments and involves removing the damaged disc and inserting a cage.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAfter the surgery,\u201dPrempeh said, \u201cCathya was able to move her left elbow. She is breathing on her own and doesn\u2019t fully require using the hard collar to support her neck. Caregivers can now mobilize her more and sit her up more to help reduce the possibility of chest infection.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Cathya\u2019s advocate and friend, Mary John, said, \u201cI am pleased with the benevolence and humanitarian assistance offered by the Calvin Ayre Foundation. They have demonstrated that kindness, empathy and generosity of spirit are still enduring values in our country. A decision to help Cathya was made within such a short time and I am indeed thankful.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is a life-changing event for Cathya and her family,\u201d Prempeh added. \u201cThe hope is that with rehabilitation, proper nutrition and other specialized care, she may be able to control an electric wheelchair and regain some form of independence. I am happy to have been a part of an operation that helped to save a life.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOn behalf of Ambassador Ayre, we at the Calvin Ayre Foundation are happy to have played our part in saving a life,\u201d Kirwan said. \u201cWe would like to wish Cathya and her family all the best and God speed.\u201d<\/p>\n<div id=\"antig-2279968933\" class=\"antig-in-comments_2 antig-entity-placement\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/@hadeedmotorsltd\" aria-label=\"Hadeed_WEB_Banner_MG-2\"><img src=\"https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:1000\/h:250\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Hadeed_WEB_Banner_MG-2.png\" alt=\"\"  srcset=\"https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:1000\/h:250\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Hadeed_WEB_Banner_MG-2.png 1000w, https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:300\/h:75\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Hadeed_WEB_Banner_MG-2.png 300w, https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:768\/h:192\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Hadeed_WEB_Banner_MG-2.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 696px) 100vw, 696px\" width=\"1000\" height=\"250\"   \/><\/a><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A visibly-moved Laurie Pelle, accompanied by Social Activist, Mary John, accepted a symbolic donation check of EC$88,450 from the Calvin Ayre Foundation (CAF) on behalf of his sister, Cathya Pelle, who fell from the second floor of the abandoned building, formerly known as the Miami Supermarket on All Saints Road, on Tuesday, July 27. \u00a0 [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":134631,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-134630","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v24.1 (Yoast SEO v24.1) -
