Your support over these past months has given much relief to many people in and around Oyugis, Kenya…and for that, I say “Thank You!”
Several incidents of people being run down by passing motorists – cars and motorcycles were covered with your support of the Urgent Medical project.
On one occasion one of our team members stopped to see why a crowd had gathered just off the roadway. He found a 65-year-old woman who was lying in the street after being run down by a motorbike taxi. He was able to get her a car to help her to the hospital where he learned she was an elderly widow without any resources to help with her medical costs.
A quick call to our office brought them the funds for this woman – with a broken leg – to be attended to and treated.
Months ago, the medical expenses of a young woman leaving work who was attacked and severely beaten by a gang of thugs were covered. Recently, your support helped to provide the funds for an artificial eye to replace her damaged eye from the attack.
Replacing her damaged eye has given her a fresh outlook and confidence. Thank You for that gift!
What an amazing difference is being made in people’s lives and YOU are helping these things happen.
Your continued support is so gratefully appreciated. Thank You for changing lives!
