MABOS funds 150th heart surgery

Staff Sgt. Crystal Myers, Chaplain (Lt. Col.) James Kinsey and Senior Airman Jonathan Blythe, all from the 376th Air Expeditionary Wing at the Transit Center at Manas, Kyrgyzstan, visit with Firuza Nurahunova, a 13-year-old Kyrgyz girl who 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 at Manas, Kyrgyzstan. 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.
