This year, with your help, we will be ready for her! Who is she? This 2-minute read will tell you…
Imagine being on a heart monitor and IV after surgery, finally resting, and learning you are going to be okay…. and then the steady beeping of the monitor stops! You open your eyes and the lights on the medical equipment supporting you- go OUT! As you feel your heart rate increase “Bang!” your door bursts open and a nurse begins to quickly wheel you out of your room and swiftly down the hall. “Why are you moving me?” you ask. The answer, “Auring!” Who is “Auring?”
More Typhoons cross the Philippines than any other region in the Pacific. Usually, 20 typhoons form and 8 or 9 hit land July through October. Thirty-five Typhoon Names are ready for 2021, from “Auring” to “Zoraida.” Auring is the Typhoon that could potentially hit a FAME partner Hospital on the North Coast of the Philippines.
Why were “you” being wheeled swiftly down the hospital hallway? Because many years ago, the Hospital acquired a small Generator just for Emergencies. As the hospital expanded, and the Philippines National Energy Grid became outdated, only portions of the Hospital have Electricity when the power goes out! They have to move patients from:
- Pediatric Respiratory
- Dialysis
- Heart Monitoring
- COPD and Asthma
All of these patients are at risk many times each typhoon season!
BUT this repetitive CRISIS COMES TO AN END THIS YEAR!
With your partnership, FAME has sent half of the funds for a New Generator which will adequately power the full hospital if needed!
The down payment has been made, the generator is ordered and should arrive BEFORE the height of the 2021 Typhoon Season when Auring, Bising, Crising, Dante begin to knock out power to this delicate Power Grid!
This FAME Partner Hospital is 100% Filipino-led and 99% self-funding for daily operations – an example of Sustainability! Chaplains at this hospital boldly declare the gospel to EVERY patient who enters!
Can you partner with FAME with a gift to “Projects-Use as Needed” that will bring Power to the Philippines? Power for Healthcare and Power for the Gospel? The total balance remaining is $20,000- can you give a gift of 1%? Or $200?
As you can imagine, children in the Pediatric Respiratory department and anyone who has to move during these power outages are very unsettled! You can bring hope and healing to those who may have heard the gospel for the first time during their hospital stay – you are a life bringer!
Thank You!
