Who do you call when you’re sick? When your child is having surgery? Where do you turn for comfort, help, and prayer?
When Anya’s little girl Eva was going under anesthesia for dental work, she asked our staff to pray. When it went well, she got in touch to tell us.
When Valera had a severe epileptic episode, staff member Sasha visited the hospital and brought everything he needed.
Medical advocacy is more than talking to a doctor or paying a bill. In a scary medical situation, orphaned youth need loving care across the whole spectrum of physical, spiritual, and emotional needs.
Y. is a graduate of our Stop the Cycle program for orphaned parents. Her son, N., has an autism diagnosis from the doctor. Yana wants to enroll him in a specialized school, but that requires more tests. Some are expensive, and your donations help pay for them.
Recently, N. had a procedure under anesthesia. Y. was very worried, and cried when N. fell asleep. But she wasn’t alone. Staff member Yuliana was at the hospital to provide support and pray with her.
Yuliana shared, “Y. is very grateful that there are people nearby who love her and N., and always support her.”
Our youth need medical advocacy for many situations – one-time procedures like Eva’s, chronic conditions like Valera’s, and complex situations that require ongoing counsel and support. Because of your generosity, our staff are a reassuring presence for these youth and families.
Thank you!
PS: Will you pray for our youth and families, and our staff who serve them every day?
