A few years ago, I had a number of doctor visits, lab tests, and even surgery in the course of a few months. I joked that I was supporting the local medical community. I’m not joking when I say that we could use your support for our medical team.
We recently introduced you to our nurse midwives and plan to interview nurse aide Korto Kollie for a future blog. In addition to being onsite at Hope House 24/7, our nurse midwives travel to nearby villages, where they become familiar faces in the communities while building relationships with the Traditional Tribal Midwives (TTMs). As we shared in last month’s blog, they educate the communities on the importance of prenatal care and advise pregnant teenagers and women, who live a distance from a health facility, to seek treatment at Hope House.
Last month, a 17-year-old girl went to Hope House for care. The medical team assessed her condition and realized that she would be unable to deliver naturally. They took prompt action, arranging for the girl to be transported to C.H. Rennie Hospital where she was safely delivered of a baby boy. Had the teenager not been at our maternity home, she likely would have been in labor for days, under the care of a TTM, which could possibly have resulted in a stillborn baby and an obstetric fistula for the girl.
Your support over the years resulted in a functioning modern maternity waiting home providing life-saving care. Your continued donations are helping with the construction of a dedicated fistula clinic, where doctors will be able to perform C-Sections as well. Can you dig a little deeper and sponsor our medical staff?
A donation of $50 a month will help Dignity:Liberia to cover the expenses of a Nurse Midwife or Nurse Assistant to be onsite at Hope House. It is quite easy to set up a recurring gift by debit, credit, or your Pay Pal account by clicking on the Pay Pal link on our Donate page. Want to make a larger gift of stock? That can be done through Donate Stock button also found on the Donate page. You can mail a check to Dignity:Liberia / 2210 Randy Ct / Granbury, TX 76049. Whether or not you can sponsor our medical team, please continue praying for the work we are doing, and for the precious babies who have already been born at Hope House. Thank you.
