Dear John, Last week I wrote to tell you about Father Rick in Haiti. He is in dire need of cholera test kits, and he turned to CMMB for help. We have sent a shipment of 1,000 kits to Father Rick, but he needs 5,000 more! Here is Father Rick's request: "There is another cholera outbreak. We need about 6,000 cholera test kits to help those in need. In the past, CMMB was able to provide cholera tests - would it be possible to have some sent to Haiti? We are desperate for these. Cases are on the rise." - Fr. Rick Dr. Dianne Jean-Francois, M.D., our Country Director in Haiti, echoes Fr. Rick's cry for help. "We're partnering with two hospitals - St. Damien and St. Luc. St. Damien is a hospital for children. These tests allow us to diagnose cholera and prescribe the proper treatment quickly." I hope you can help. We are about $35,000 short of fulfilling Father Rick's request, but we are trying. As always, we are so grateful for all that you do for us and for those we serve. Sincerely, Bruce Wilkinson President & CEO | |
