Dear Daniel,

The pharmacy needs resupply!

It's been almost two years since we wrote about prescription medications. Since that time, we have been blessed with over-the-counter medications from all of you. That really fills the gap so we can efficiently use our medical funding for prescription medications. The well has run dry for prescription medications now, though, so we're making you aware in case you are inspired to give the clinic a boost in this area.

The clinic needs medications we would use in the U.S., such as Amoxicillin, Doxycycline, Azithromycin, Metformin, blood pressure medications, and many others you would probably recognize. Some you might not, which will be used to treat malaria, typhoid, and other diseases that are typically not present in other more developed countries. The medications we need can be purchased to some degree in Haiti, over the border in the Dominican Republic, or possibly from the U.S., which can then be shipped into Haiti.

You can help! If you feel led to give a gift to help us restock, you can click this link: https://haiticheri.givingfuel.com/giving. Just put a comment in the Special Instructions section that it is for medicine. You can also send a gift by mail to the address at the bottom of this newsletter. Let us know it's for medicine in the memo section of your check.

U.N. action coming...

On another topic, we've been keeping you updated on the unrest in Haiti that has its roots in political turbulence in combination with gang violence. Certain parts of the country are virtually paralyzed. After months of deliberation, the U.N. Security Council voted on October 2 to provide a military security force in Haiti to combat gangs and allow the country to restore order. This comes at the request of the de facto government and various social institutions. The intervention will be led by Kenya's military, and involves troops from the region, and funding from many nations. Please join us in prayer that this will restore peace in security for a population that seeks only to live and breathe in peace.

X-Ray System Update

Here's the latest news on our big campaign. As of this writing, we are at $51,214 toward our goal of $55,000. We have only $3,786 to go. It's so close we can taste it! We really appreciate your ongoing giving. We would be grateful if you could share this link to the fundraising and information page with your friends and connections:  https://haiticheri.givingfuel.com/xray. It's a big goal, but by the grace of God, we can see the finish line. We're seriously close now!

Thank you so much for your faithful giving and prayers. We appreciate you more than you can imagine.
