"Aaron has the rare ability of being able to plough compassion into deed; his natural diplomacy and character draws people to him; and it is this that enables him to take a crippling condition absolutely lost to the world and bring it to the front stage, planting dreams and productivity in young peoples lives where otherwise there’d be nothing.”

Harriet Getzels, USA

 

"The Glow Fund is doing excellent, effective and well-organized work.  Aaron and Mimi are honest, intelligent, hard working and creative individuals.  When Dolma had her surgery in 2005, Aaron kept me updated at each stage via the website and email.  Once the surgery was complete and Dolma was back home, he sent me a letter with pictures to share the wonderful news and thank me for my support.  How amazing it feels to be part of this process – to know that I helped Dolma to have a better life!"

Christopher Troxler, Romania



"Others work on a large scale, and are effective, but the Glow Fund is even more special, helping one person at a time.  It changes you profoundly as you feel an immediate and direct connection with a person across the world.   Aaron's personal involvement and commitment humbles me, and seeing the results with Dolma allows me to believe in such individual efforts - a small act, but a class act with big results.  It is real.  Helping is always about the self, and the gift I've received from participating is immense, compared to the help I've offered."

Nguyen Qui Duc, Vietnam



"In 2005 I donated money to help Dolma, and subsequently traveled to china to meet Aaron. Any donor can feel totally satisfied that their donation will be put to good use and that every cent will go to the cause stated."

Simon Ryde, UK



"Working on charity surgical trips is among the most rewarding work that I ever do. I love my work here in California, but I never forget the patients like Dolma."

Dr Larry Rinsky, USA
