Clinica de Esperanza-Clinic of Hope

Dear Friend:

The clinic has been temporarily closed during this difficult time. Public transportation was shut down and people only allowed out of their homes once every 3 weeks. The country is in a policed state and this has caused a domino of difficulties. 

Transportation is opening back up. This may not seem like a big deal to us in America, but in Honduras, the poor do not have a car. They depend solely on a bus, taxi, or their own 2 legs to get around. As the clinic is far out in  the country, it is very difficult for them to walk anywhere on their allowed day out. 

In the meantime the clinic funds have continued to pay staff salaries, keep the place clean and relocate our supplies to the hospitals. We have also been supplying the poor public hosptials with masks and medical supplies so they can take care of the patients. 

The clinic is now being resupplied and being made ready for inspection to re-open. Aside from the virus, people have not been able to get their medications for hypertension, heart disease, diabetes, and all other manner of normal medical problems. All of this is being made available with the reopening. 

We hope the goverment tape and regulations will be favorable at this time. They need us and they know it. Thank you for your assistance.

t was super hard to make the decision to close the clinic temporarily when people needed help. Towards the end only one patient a day could get to the clinic. The police make it impossible to travel and people only allowed out once every 3 weeks.

The clinic staff has been packing out food on our property to help the people of our community and others with the problem of starving with the strict curvew and police intervention. To date over 2000 families have been helped. They receive a bag of food that will feed  a family of 4 for a week.

This week we packed up all our gloves and supplies to take to the hospital where they are desparate. Next week we hope we can get supplies through to Honduras. We will continue to raise funds to feed folks. We will continue to pay staff salaries as long as possible. Pray for the poor, pray for the resources to come to us.
