Title:
MABOS funds 150th heart surgery
Description:
Chaplain (Lt. Col.) James Kinsey, the 376th Air Expeditionary Wing head chaplain at the Transit Center at Manas, Kyrgyzstan, speaks to Firuza Nurahunova as her mother, Polak, looks on. Firuza, a 13-year-old Kyrgyz girl, just had open heart surgery March 21, 2010, at a hospital in Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan, to repair a faulty valve. This is Firuza's third heart surgery, and it was funded by Airmen in the Manas Area Benefits Outreach Society at the transit center. MABOS is a non-profit organization on this installation that has now funded 150 open heart surgeries totaling more than $75,000 through private donations from Airmen and other caring Americans.
