Maricela was on the verge of
tears when she and her five-year old son, Alonzo, entered the rural health
clinic we support in rural Honduras.
Alonzo, her pride and joy, was
very ill. His little body ached from head to toe, and his fever, already
dangerously high, was continuing to climb.
After careful examination, Dr.
Avila, a physician at the health clinic, had good news for little Alonzo and
his distraught mother. Alonzo had a severe flu, but he would make a full
recovery. The medicines previously provided by friends of HOPE International Development Agency would ensure it!
Not every health center and
clinic, however, has the medicines and medical supplies like Dr. Avila’s
center.
Doctors and nurses are telling us
that medicines and medical supplies are running critically low in many of the
centers, clinics, and community pharmacies where they deliver life-saving
services.
Our last shipment of medicine and
medical supplies provided enough medicine and medical supplies to stock health
centers, rural health clinics, and community pharmacies serving a population of
nearly 250,000 people living in 400 Honduran communities.
Today, we urgently need your help
to raise the funds needed to ship two massive transport containers
of medicines and medical supplies to Honduras. There’s enough medicine and
medical supplies in the containers to help as many as 40,000 people in the next
12 months, primarily children.
