Commissioner Leon would like to take this opportunity to thank our great community for the support and generosity shown to Osdi Ramirez, who traveled 2000 miles with his father from Guatemala to El Paso in hopes of receiving treatment for a very serious heart condition. U.S. Customs and Border Protection allowed Osdi and his father to remain under “Temporary Asylum” for his medical attention. I understand that Osdi will be treated by renowned surgeons and we pray that he will recover and have a chance at life. Phone calls to help Osdi are still coming in and I cannot begin to express my sincere gratitude of our great El Paso community. Donations can be made at www.gofundme.com/2sesu7dk.
