Tanya Mroczek-Amador and her husband Nelson Amador, directors of the Corner of Love in Maple Valley, had more than $5,000 of medications and about $1,350 of personal items burglarized from their car in a parking lot at a South Florida hotel.
The Amadors were taking the medication to Nicaragua to serve the remote villages. Since 2000 the Amadors through the Corner of Love Christian organization have been organizing multiple yearly mission to Nicaragua providing medical and dental care and other service.
Many friends are asking us how they can help, so here are some requests.
***Pray for the people who took them! Also pray they consider bringing them back! Prayers of thanksgiving that no one was hurt!
***Spread the word to friends, civic groups (Rotary, etc.) and churches who might be able to help.
***Donate online at www.corneroflove.org (or mail a check to Corner of Love 22142 SE 237th St #100 Maple Valley, WA 98038) to help replace what was stolen. Here is the information about what was taken and how much it cost:
1. 43 jars of children’s vitamins (500 each)
2. antiparasite meds for 9,200 people (500mg Mebendazole)
3. 30 hydrocortisone and antifungals
4. one custom order of antifungals meds and 13 kinds of antibiotics
5. Lidocaine 7 boxes
6. Bupivacaine 2 boxes
7. 5 boxes of sheath protectors
8. 39 lice treatments
9. 3 500 tab bottles of Benadryl
10. 12 bottles of Naproxen (quantity of pills per bottle unknown)
11. 22 boxes of fluoride varnish
12. 4 packages of dental etch
13. 11 burn-guard sleeves for burn patients
14. 42 jars of silver sulfadiazine cream
15. 120 pair of support stockings for patients with Varicose veins
16. One used slow speed dental hand piece
17. One brand new Tuttnauer water distiller
18. 31 pcs of used dental instruments
19. Unknown quantity of dental numbing gel (approx. 10 boxes)
20. 4 boxes of large Costco trash bags
21. 12 bottles of 180 tabs of Ranitidine
22. Misc. household items for our house including a new Vitamix blender!
23. our own clothes and shoes including new items that we had ordered via internet to Nicola’s home -JUST packed them
and never wore them!
We traveled from Nicaragua to Fort Meyers on 2/23, picking up 70% of these items from the family we stayed with (we ordered them online and shipped them to their house) and the rest of the items we picked up in South Florida on 2/26, right before arriving at the hotel.
This theft happened in less than 8 minutes while we got our hotel key with the vehicle sitting LOCKED in FRONT of the lobby! We estimated the value of Meds/supplies to be $6800 (some items were obtained through donation, actual cost to COL -$5120) and the personal items to be worth $1350.
