Next Step

The next step for Tison, the nine year old burn victim, is to get all his letters of support to the U.S. Embassy in Jakarta. We have organized and sent all the these letters from Alaska. We sent the package by Fedex to Indonesia. This Fedex package full of the letters he needs went from Fairbanks to Anchorage to Memphis to Anchorage in four days. It winged it way to China and was in and out of the distribution center in an hour and a half before arriving in Jakarta. Finally, the letters made it to Manado.

The next stop is the U.S. Embassy. Tison, his father and Hendra, the escort, will make an appointment at the Embassy. Once the time is set at the Embassy we can begin to plan his arrival in the U.S. Tison will receive the medical treatment he needs once he gets to Alaska.

We are hopeful that he will be awarded a visa to come to the U.S. We have done everything we can do on this end and it is up tot he Embassy to do the rest.
