More Than Education

In America, when you get sick, you go to the doctor.  When you cut your finger, you put on a band-aid.  Broken bones are put in a cast to heal correctly.   

What happens when there is no doctor, transportation, or way to pay for services?  The need for medical care is an ongoing issue, no matter where you live.  But in Haiti, trying to see a doctor is a challenge.  

Hope for Kidz offers assistance for medical issues, from ringworm to broken bones, hernia repairs, and eye exams. As part of our sponsorship program, our kids get a helping hand.   

We shared a story a few years ago about a young man who needed a prosthetic leg. The medical fund helped him get the leg and keep it updated as he grows. He has grown quite a bit and is still doing very well in school.

Three students saw the eye doctor during the school year, and two now have glasses to help them see better. This will improve their everyday lives.
