Guest guest Posted March 30, 2006 Report Share Posted March 30, 2006 Dear Chidi, I am so sorry that you are going through this. All I can tell you is this this a billigerent case of racism and legally you and your wife both should be eliigeblae for geen cards and so to deny any of you visa, is to deny your child, a US born citizen, recieving medical attention in his own country. Here is what I will do. I will call both Dave Waldon as well as Dan Burton, two congressmen in the US known for their support of parents of autistic children and at least talk to their staff and urge them to bring this case to their attention. I also will write an email and send it to the embasador and will try to do this the first chance I get this coming week. I will then send you a copy of it. Again, I am so sorry you have to go through this and as a person who have seen numerous incidents of discrimination, I find this applalling and will apeal to others in this group as well as other groups to take similar actions. Do I have your permission to forward your email to other autism group?

Guest guest Posted March 30, 2006 Report Share Posted March 30, 2006 Please write an email to the American Ambassador bringing to his attention that an ill child of American citizenship has been denied the best available treatment opportunity for his ailment by the consulate's denial of visa to his mother, and that no child should be denied such opportunity. Make it short and concise and CC a copy to the consulate. The email addresses are on the bottom of this email. Thank you Amber.

Guest guest Posted March 31, 2006 Report Share Posted March 31, 2006 Chidi, I sent you a copy of an e-mail that I sent to the Ambassador in Nigeria, and I also have faxed a letter to Rep. Dave Weldon. Although I am in a different district than he represents, at least we are both in FL. In case anybody else wants to send a fax to his office, the Washington fax number is 202-225-3516 and his Melbourne office is 321-639-8595. I also sent as page 2 of the fax a copy of Mr. Isuwah's original request to our group. I hope it isn't too late! A copy of the letter is below: TO: Congressman Weldon and Staff TIME-CRITICAL From: Rev. Kathleen Eickwort, FL, USA Date: March 31, 2006 Because of Congressman's Weldon's compassion for children with autism and their families I am writing to ask if he or one of his staff could intervene in getting a compassionate visa for one of the Nigerian parents of this child, Chidi Izuwah, Jr. who is an American citizen with a complex neurodevelopmental disorder, to come to the United States for medical consultation and education regarding the best treatment of his illness. Chidi was born while his father was in Houston working with Shell Oil. It makes no sense at all to me that this child's mother would have been denied a Visa and counseled to take him to South Africa or France for treatment. My own grandson is making an awesome recovery using the methods used in this country, and I know how time-critical this can be. The mother wants to attend a conference in Washington in early April and then has an appointment with Dr. Mumper in Virginia with her child. This child is an American citizen! Surely his parents can bring him here for medical care and education! Please call the US Ambassador or the Consulate and help get Mrs. Izuwah her Visa. This family is paying for their own medical care and transportation and there is no reason to keep them out. Thank you in advance for your consideration. Peace, (Rev.) Kathleen R. Eickwort, PhD Mr. Izuwah's contact information follows: No. 8 Faith Avenue Woji Town, Port Harcourt, Rivers State, Nigeria Cell phone: +234 8036622700 e-mail: chidi_izuwah@...

Guest guest Posted April 4, 2006 Report Share Posted April 4, 2006 All, Good day. Doris and I on behalf of Chidi Jnr would like to express our gratitude to all who did write to the US Embassy on our behalf. We have not received any acknowledgement or response from the embassy or consulate till date. In the heat of all this effort I seem to have lost sight of the fact that I have a US Visa....in order not Chidi Jnr his best chance of recovery...I have applied for and my employers have kindly granted me an precented 2 wks leave of absence. I view of this, I will be taking Chidi Jnr to Washington for the DAN conference and to have his Doctors appointments. This is not our preferred option or outcome, since Doris is more professional qualified as a Doctor and for the last 4 yrs has not worked full time becos of looking after Chidi. Am not sure how well i will do in these circumastances, but I trust that nothing beats the passion of a father or mother. I need further guidance and would like some help. During the conference I would be staying in Lorton Virginia as follows: Chidi Izuwah <chidi_izuwah@...> wrote: All, The subject am about to bring up is not really about enzymes but I sincerely appreciate the help we have received on this site due to our location in Nigeria. We have an urgent problem with rgds to seeking high quality biomedical diagnoses for our son who is 4 and autistic in the United States and would appreciate the any help from our American friends/colleagues on this group. My wife Doris was at the US Consulate in Lagos Nigeria to seek a Visa to bring our autistic son along to the DAN conference in Washington. Doris is planned to attend the DAN conference and then seek assistance health wise for our son by consulting Dr. Mumper in Virginia. My son Chidi Jnr is a US Citizen - he was born while I was on assignment in the US with Shell Oil in Houston. The US Consulate Officials refused my wife's request for a visa and have suggested that we take my son (An American Citizen) to South Africa, France or anywhere else to seek treatment for him. Grateful you assits us write/phone the Embasy/Consulate or your Senator/House of Rep member to help us fight this unfortunate situation as my hope is the most people in the world world want to help a family seeking answers for their Child's autism.

Guest guest Posted April 4, 2006 Report Share Posted April 4, 2006 Hello Chidi, Many of us work to recover our children without the help of a knowledgeable doctor. I am one of those people. One of the best places to get help in doing this is the autism treatment group. There you can learn about chelating safely, if that is a treatment your son needs / Autism-mercury and this group are in my opinion two of the best places on the web to get good information. DAN! doctors can be very helpful, but based on reading thousands of posts from parents, we must research all of our own decisions. An example of this kind of situation would be a post from last night where a member of this group was told to give her child DMSA twice a day at a very high dose. At the autism treatment group I explained to Libby why this would be dangerous for her child. The doctor had also not taken into account that her child had amalgam fillings. Her research is already paying off. I am in Canada where we have some difficulty accessing the services and goods we need to treat our children with autism. I have put together a document to help people who are new to biomedical treatments for autism that might be some small help to you as well. If you are interested in it, please email me and I would be happy to forward it to you. I wish you and your family the best. Anita > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 4, 2006 Report Share Posted April 4, 2006 I hope to reply in more detail later this evening. I don't know anything about good childcare near Lorton; but I do know something about the commute to the conference from there and will be happy to send some information as well as the link to the local autism society if I can find it.

Guest guest Posted April 4, 2006 Report Share Posted April 4, 2006 I do not post often to this list, but I will be attending the DAN! conference in Washington D.C beginning Thursday evening and leaving Sunday evening. If I can help in any way please let me know. You may want to contact the Virginia Autism Resource Center and they may have knowledge of respite providers or an organization where you could obtain a list of providers in the area you will be staying. I personally am from S.E.

Guest guest Posted April 4, 2006 Report Share Posted April 4, 2006 It appears that Northern Virginia has it's own division of ARC. http://www.thearcofnova.org/ This is also the website for the Austism Society of America's Northern Virginia Chapter. It appears in their member resources section to have a portion on respite. http://asanv.org/ Hope this helps!
