Because of the generous support of so many of you, we were able to send invaluable medical supplies to Gracias, Honduras this week. Thank you! The supplies en route to Honduras include:
- A surgical sterilizer
- Hundreds of tubes of toothpaste
- Hundreds of toothbrushes
- Crutches, canes, and walkers
- Catheters
- Baby scales and bassinets
- Hundreds of Aero Chambers for babies and children
- Sanitary stainless steel waste receptacles
- 10 IV poles
- Hundreds of pregnancy tests
- Hundreds of urine test strips
- An exam table
- Face masks
- Hundreds of baby blankets
- Hundreds of cloth diapers
- Chairs for medical offices
The supplies in this shipment will improve the quality of care in the region dramatically.
Our next step is to continue fundraising to ensure we are able to purchase any medications we need to bring with us to Honduras in March for our clinic. We've raised about $6,000 so far, which means we are about $2,600 short of our goal. If you haven't had a chance to contribute, now is the time. Every little bit helps!
