What a challenging year 2020 has been, for so many people, and certainly for the families living in poverty in the Philippines that sought care from Mercy In Action this year! We were there for the 600 babies that have been born thus far this year in our two birth centers, and our midwives helped hundreds of more pregnant women with food, home visits, and clinical check-ups and treatments. We visited the sick, the prisoners, and many in great need, and to them all, we offered medical care, food, and hope.
As this year comes to a close, we think of all of you who supported Mercy In Action in our work this year. It was because of your partnership with us that we were able to find those with no resources and help them safely through pregnancy and delivery. It was your donations that gave 600 low-income women safe childbirth. You saw the urgent need when the pandemic lockdowns began and helped us buy food for all our pregnant and postpartum patients and their families when they had no way to go to work. You saw the need for midwives to provide cost-effective and personalized care in areas where there was no good maternity care of any kind. You helped many people living in poverty - his report is for you to see that you are indeed making a difference in the world. In a tough year, you provided vital and life-giving help to many. On their behalf, we say a heartfelt Thank You!
Sending this with lots of love from the Mercy In Action team in the Philippines!
