Ever since we began, we’ve been providing life saving care and services to women of all ages across Northern Haiti.
Even in the last week as many of you may have read, countless lives have been saved or transformed! One young lady called Marie came for a consultation at our hospital, and was informed that she needed urgent, life saving surgery. Despite initially declining due to the fear of surgery, through the love and support of our team, she changed her mind, was successfully operated on, and returned home last week!
Just a few days ago, another lady came into the hospital giving birth. When her baby was born, he wasn’t breathing, but was quickly resuscitated thanks to the quick and professional care of our doctors. The baby is now recovering well in our neonatal unit.
These are just two stories from the last week. In 2012 we supported over 2,500 women through our Women’s Health work, and the numbers keep increasing!
As many of our supporters have done in the past, we’re asking people this week to make a one off donation towards our Women’s Health work, to celebrate International Women’s Day and Mothering Sunday! It could be in honor of a mum, grandmum, aunt or another special woman, or perhaps in memory of someone you’d like to remember this week. Chocolates will quickly be eaten, and flowers will last a few days, but a ‘Gift in kind’ towards our Maternity work will leave a life long impact! Please consider making a gift today, in honor of that someone special.
You could also help us this week, by using these two wonderful occassions to spread the word of HHA Women’s Health activities. Tell your friends and family, tweet, facebook, engage your school, church or business! Lets do our part to celebrate this special week, and support some of the most vulnerable women and mothers in Haiti.
