Laura in America May 30-June 18
I'm going to six things... 1. My brother, Steven, is getting married! On June 2nd, Steven and Lauren will be married in Chattanooga. 2. Visit with family 3. Meetings with SERV International June 5 and, hopefully, The Mission Society during my stay. 4. Preach at WInder First UMC on June 17th. 5. Get a medicine for Drew from his Augusta pediatrician which isn't available in Kenya. 6. Raise support for Micheal Methenge's cornea transplant. |
Cornea Transplant needed to save sight Since he was 8 years old, Michael's vision has been slowly deteriorating due to alleries. His family was unable to buy medicines that could have saved his sight. Today, he is 21 years old, a great time for surgery since the eye has stopped growing. Kenya has the right equipment AND a missionary ophthamologist from Italy. They order the corneas from the USA, which is the most expensive part. We need $5,000 to do one eye. Already, someone has given $200 toward this surgery. Michael will have only one eye done, because of costs, but then should do very well in college. |
