Recently a young lady named Suzanne approached me as I was walking between Hospital Wards. She explained that she had delivered 10 days earlier but still owed approximately $40 for her hospital bill. She asked if I could intercede on her behalf as her mother was gravely ill at home. She was not requesting that I pay her bill but only that I would plead her case to the Matron so she could go home and return to pay her bill when she had the money. Using money from our Donors I paid her bill so she could go home to attend her mother. This week Suzanne returned to the Hospital with $40 in hand to settle her bill. I thanked her for her effort to repay the money but refused to take anything from her. Instead I asked her to help someone else when they were in need. I hope that $40 will continue to be passed on for some time. Thank you Donors for all you allow me to do here.
Jim and Terry Hake have been at St. Martin de Porres Hospital in Njinikom, Cameroon since July 2010. With the prayerful support of their family and friends, and relying on Our Lord to be their daily companion, they are in the second year of a three year mission.
