We are launching our “We Believe” Campaign to promote animal adoption and FAAN’s God-Parenting Program that enables animal lovers who are unable to adopt for reasons like travel, having too many pups, not being in Cuenca or your landlord is not pet friendly, to become a Godparent to one of our FAAN Shelter Dogs.
This is a great time and program to support the Foundation with a double-matching grant when your donation is doubled dollar for dollar. When you Godparent a FAAN Shelter Dog and help pay for their care, (Food, Flea Medication, Medical treatments) you will receive a picture of your Fundacion FAAN dog, and our volunteers will keep you posted on your dog’s well-being and adoption. You can even meet and play with your pup at the shelter on our next visit to Tarqui. Barry and I have decided to Godparent, Judy!
Here’s a Quick Link to becoming a FAAN God-Parent through a monthly or one-time donation for your pup’s care, (Food, Flea Medication, and Medical treatments).

Expats frequently ask about Dental Veneers, regularly stating that they’re interested in receiving them, though usually don’t ask about the other like kind option of Dental Crowns.
Most definitely, at FHIE Dental Clinic (Home of “Dr No. Pain”), we serve very many Expat patients for Dental Veneers and naturally are quite glad to do so upon their request. It might come as a surprise though to many Expats that often, Dental Crowns can be a better fit (both literally and figuratively), because of the fact that Dental Veneers are most recommendable for persons with teeth in good condition who just have some spatial gaps, whereas Dental Crowns are most recommendable for persons whose teeth aren’t in such good condition overall, comparatively speaking.
Call, email or WhatsApp to schedule your own 100% FREE ($0.00) Dental Veneers vs. Dental Crowns consultation with “Dr. No Pain”, so as to determine which one is a better fit for you and your particular dentition.
Simply call or send your message (by Phone/WhatsApp) to +593 98 392 9606 OR by email to info@findhealthinecuador.com to schedule your above referenced 100% FREE ($0.00) consultation with “Dr. No Pain” by today!

In the vibrant city of Cuenca, “Bill”, a new client and expatriate, embarked on his journey with enthusiasm, recognizing the necessity of securing health insurance. After encountering difficulties in finding suitable coverage, he discovered our services and promptly obtained a Major Medical Expenses insurance plan with a $5,000 deductible.
Merely two weeks into his insurance coverage, Bill faced a grave health crisis—a severe infection in his knee prosthesis, classified as a pre-existing condition, but excluded because it was an infection. This unforeseen turn of events subjected him to excruciating pain but also posed a significant risk of sepsis. Bill underwent urgent surgery at Monte Sinai Hospital, performed by a leading orthopedic surgeon. Although the operation was successful, the ensuing expenses surpassed the coverage limit, compounded by the need for a costly antibiotic priced at $2,500 USD.
Post-surgery, the process of reimbursement commenced. Despite the initial apprehension regarding coverage limitations, Bill’s claims were efficiently processed without impediments, alleviating financial burdens associated with his medical ordeal.
The culmination of Bill’s health journey did not conclude with the successful surgery. A subsequent post-surgical complication resulted in another medical intervention, amplifying medical expenses. However, armed with comprehensive insurance coverage and personalized support, Bill confronted these challenges with resilience, ensuring that his health remained the top priority.
Bill’s journey epitomizes the critical role of robust health insurance coverage and attentive service in navigating unforeseen health adversities. Despite encountering daunting challenges, Bill’s proactive approach to securing adequate insurance coverage enabled him to confront his health crises with resilience and financial stability. His story serves as a testament to the invaluable peace of mind afforded by comprehensive health insurance in safeguarding individual well-being, regardless of the adversities encountered along life’s journey.

Glutathione is a vital substance found in every body cell. It acts as an antioxidant to neutralize free radicals and prevent cellular damage.
Scientific research has demonstrated Glutathione’s importance for humans by showing that cellular glutathione levels are an excellent predictor of life expectancy. This has led many to understand that optimally regulating glutathione levels in the body is an excellent anti-aging method and promotes overall health. By eliminating free radicals from the body, Glutathione can protect many of the body’s systems from disease and deterioration. Due to its wide range of biological uses, it is essential to prevent glutathione levels from becoming low. Unfortunately, natural glutathione production can be easily disrupted, and stores in the body can quickly become depleted by the effects of poor diet, stress, aging, medications, infections, radiation, and other toxins.
Not only does Glutathione promote internal health, but it is also an excellent substance for rejuvenating and lightening skin. Many individuals supplement with Glutathione to receive its excellent cosmetic benefits for skin health.

Looking for a furnished room or small studio to rent ASAP. Budget for a room is $200 to $250, and budget for a studio is about $450. I’m a chill, quiet, clean, respectful, no-drama 60-year-old gringa who works online from home.
Currently in a bad situation with a very controlling roommate. Just looking for peace and harmony with like-minded people. Prefer in or near El Centro, but really, the vibe is more important than the location.
A building with a generator would be AWESOME. 🙂
