Most of us today don’t even think twice when it comes to checking in with our medical provider when we’re not feeling well.
For most of the people in Oyugis Kenya the first thing they consider is if they have any money to seek help….or does what little they have need to go for food for the day instead. Tough choices are made.
Over these past months, thanks to you and your support of our Urgent Medical Care project, many of those suffering injuries or illness have been able to seek out medical treatment.
Snake bites, respiratory issues, malaria, typhoid, cancer treatments, surgeries and accidents…all seen by local and neighboring medical facilities because of your support!
One 5-month old was able to see a pediatric specialist and it saved his life! For weeks it was trial and error trying to determine what was causing his seizures and breathing problems! Your support allowed us to seek the help of a specialist who diagnosed the issue and saved his young life.
I don’t need to think twice to know the impact you are making in the lives of the people in Oyugis, and to know how extremely grateful they are to receive help…it is the tears of relief and joy, and expressions of gratitude expressed by each person helped that so clearly says Thank You!
