Portable Ultrasound for 10,000 patients in a year

Dear friends,

When we entered the Neonatology Unit last week, Nurse Festime’s face lit up the moment she saw the delivery boxes.

Inside those boxes were vital CPAP machine accessories — small parts that help the tiniest babies breathe.
For three long years, Festime and her team have been using the same worn-out parts, carefully cleaning and reusing them because replacements were impossible to find.

But thanks to you, the donors, the wait is finally over.
Your generosity brought relief to a nurse who fights every day to keep fragile newborns alive — and gave a second breath to the babies who depend on her care.

Festime said it best:

“These babies depend on us, and now we finally have what we need to help them.”

You made this possible.
Your gift didn’t just deliver equipment — it delivered hope, safety, and the tools of life.

Yet the need doesn’t stop here.
Each CPAP machine needs regular replacement parts to stay reliable.
We don’t want Festime and her team to wait another three years before they can breathe easier, too.

You can continue to be the hero in this story — ensuring every baby has the air they need to live.
Your donation today will help us purchase more of these critical accessories so the Neonatology Unit always has enough to go around.

With deep gratitude,
The Mother and Child Hospital Foundation Team

The good news: You care and you gave!!   The hospital now has the poratable ultrasound that it needs and it is in use now helping in timely diagnosis to save lives.  

The bad (?) news: This channel of giving did not raise enough in time to cover that ultrasound so we have decided to put the money you donated here towards vital equipment to help the tiniest and sickest babies in the hospital in another way.

Babies in the Neonatal Intensive Unit struggle to breathe and to gain weight, and are always at risk of infection.  Saving the lives of these smallest and most vulnerable babies is made much easier with high quality, functional electric syringes and respiratory devices. 

We will use your donations to provide the vital equipment that helps neonatologists diagnose and administer appropriate therapies in a timely way.
