Urgent Request

We received an email today from our hospital administrator in Bolivia. On May 8, a young woman named Santusa was admitted to our hospital with acute pancreatitis. Although Santusa's husband works as a chauffeur, they are very poor. They and their three year old daughter sleep on the floor every night.

Santusa's condition is serious, and her husband is at the point of taking her home to die. Our hospital staff would like to try surgery, but the cost is approximately $1,150 US dollars, and the hospital does not currently have the funds to cover it.

The situation is urgent, as her husband will take her home tomorrow if we cannot cover the costs of her surgery. Please prayerfully consider giving to help cover the cost of Santusa's surgery. You can give online, at http://hospitalsofhope.org/donate.htm; please give us a call at (316) 262-0964 or send me an email at leta@hospitalsofhope.org to let us know that you would like your donation to be directed toward Santusa's surgery.
