How far have you gone to get help for your child?
A few miles?
Across town?
Maybe a long drive?

Recently, Collette and her husband faced that question in a way most of us never will.
Their young son had fallen from a tree and broken his arm. No nearby clinic= No quick solution.

So they began to walk.

They carried their injured child for about 13 miles, the distance of a mini marathon, over the course of 6 to 7 hours, just to reach care.

Step by step.

Carrying his pain.

And Collette wasn’t just a mother caring for one child…She was also expecting another.

As I think about that journey, I can’t help but reflect personally. I’ve run mini marathons before. I’ve even completed a few marathons. Those are challenging, but I trained for them. I was healthy. I chose to be there. In fact, some of the times I’ve felt strongest physically were when I was preparing to travel that kind of distance on foot!

But Collette and her husband? They didn’t choose this journey.
They walked it out of necessity… carrying a child in pain… with uncertainty ahead.

And by God’s provision, they made it.

They reached a hospital where their son’s arm could be set and treated.

But here’s what stays with me…
That same center is not yet fully equipped.
For another child… another family… another emergency…
That journey could end with not having what is needed. That Hospital is on the road to becoming a Level 4 Surgery Center

This is why the road to hope matters.

And this is where you come in.

As you may have seen in our recent mailing, we are inviting partners to support FAME’s YES Fund—helping provide:

Clean water for schools and communities in Kenya
A surgical theater to expand life-saving care in Kenya
A maternity center for mothers and newborns in Malawi

Because when care moves closer…

Hope moves closer.

Families like Collette’s don’t have to walk as far.

Children receive treatment sooner.

And more people hear the Gospel through compassionate care.

Together, we are delivering Clinics. Care. Christ.
