A LIFELINE IS BROKEN
Help is needed NOW
The village of Mombin Crochu, Haiti suffered the loss of two villagers whose lives could possibly have been saved, had the resources been available. A mother and her child died because there was no transportation to take them over the long rough road to a more advanced health care facility that could have saved their lives.
A few years ago Covenant Hospital Network provided the small hospital in Mombin Crochu with a used but sturdy vehicle that was designed to withstand the beating caused by the horrible terrain that serves as roads between the village and larger cities. That vehicle has recently required extensive and costly repairs and has now reached a point where the cost of needed repairs far exceeds the value of the vehicle. That vehicle has been the villagers’ lifeline for food, and supplies, and has served as an ambulance in times of need. The village is now in desperate need of another vehicle as soon as possible to allow these services to continue. The cost of a good used vehicle that will hold up to the rugged terrain will be about $20,000. We are currently trying to raise these funds as quickly as possible to provide this.
