Rorie, 39 years old, a loving wife, and a mother of two Kissley & Karl, has been a faithful disciple of ICOC Cagayan De Oro in the Philippines. Back in 2023, Rorie was diagnosed with Squamous Cell Carcinoma (Cervical cancer). Due to her health condition, she was not able to work, and her sister took care of her two kids. She depended on her father & mother-in-law for support regarding her medicines, chemotherapy, and other medical expenses. Although her husband lost his full-time job, he worked hard to support his children, especially Rorie, by trying all the available jobs.

Last Monday, March 24, 2023, Rorie was admitted due to intolerable pain, low hemoglobin, and creatinine issues; until today, she is still in the hospital. The recommendation was to continue the prescribed medication, check-ups, and laboratory tests. Still, due to a lack of finances, she partially took the meds and treatments except for the food supplements donated and given by some relatives and friends. Any support you can provide to ease Rorie's burden during these challenging times will be greatly appreciated. May the Lord bless you in so many ways.

My wife Norma and I were invited by my wife's brother, who had attended Bible talks at the university. Since then, we went and began to study; we were baptized in August 1992, and a year later, we were given the position of children's ministry which we exercise to date. Unfortunately, my wife, due to her cancer, was given seven months to live, and yesterday she passed away.
I am asking for help from ETF for my wife's funeral since our savings are all stretched out for her medical bills and doctors; we pray that you may help us during this challenging time, not only for me but also for our daughter, Livia. We will be forever grateful for all your help.

My name is Karina García. I am 48 years old, and with God's favor, I have been a disciple for 24 years, of which, by His grace, for 13 years, I was a full-time minister Monterrey Mexco. My husband and I have been ministering in Monterrey for ten years. Currently, I am working on my own, and I am suffering from health situations, specifically with my thyroid. Lately, a tumor in my ovary has reappeared, which up to now has manifested itself with medium-grade alterations. Since medical services do not cover them, further tests and treatments can be expensive. Additionally, my husband is suffering from stage 4 prostate cancer.
We have faith in God that we will overcome this challenge and that He will protect us during our medical tests and treatments. We hope that our condition and diagnosis will not worsen and that we will receive the care we need to recover. I am reaching out to ETF for help with my medical needs. Thank you in advance for your help and prayers. May God bless you and multiply your acts of kindness towards his people.

Alex and Diana Molina have been together for 23 years and have been disciples for 12 years in the Church in Bogota Colombia. Diana used to work in a small sewing workshop while Alex moved to the United States last year, but his legal situation is not current. Unfortunately, their son Camilo was involved in a road accident on February 3 while riding his motorcycle. He was hit by a car, which caused numerous fractures in his pelvis and right femur, as well as damage to his right lung. Camilo was recently in the ICU for several days and is currently hospitalized for surgery, therapy, and treatment. The prognosis is for a prolonged hospitalization, with an even longer road to recovery before he can walk again and resume his everyday life. For this reason, Diana has closed her workshop to dedicate herself 100% to his care.
We hope there is some support available for them.

My name is María de Lourdes Pérez Torres, I am 58 years old and I have been in the church for 16 years. Since birth, I have suffered from progressive myopia in both eyes. This over the years has worsened, causing macular degeneration in both retinas, being exposed to retinal detachment and causing total blindness in one eye. In these months due to this disease in my eyes, it has caused a strabismus in my right eye, of which I already have very little vision. At the moment I don't work for any company, because of my disability they don't want to hire me and therefore I don't have the right to health insurance in my country.I went to a hospital where a specialist doctor can operate on me. But between the cost of the surgery, studies of my eyes, medical appointments, it has been quite expensive and I don't have the resources. I'm organizing a raffle among friends, of some items so that with the sale of these tickets I can get some money, but the truth is that I haven't reached the goal, and I have to raise money for my recovery after the operation. I ask God for a miracle to at least complete for the operation and I have faith to regain sight in my right eye.If you can support me in anything, I will be eternally grateful.

My name is Bonilia Jean. I have been a disciple in Bodarie for 17 years. In order to support my seven children, I used to buy and sell things for a living. Life has been tough, but it became unbearable when my house was on the brink of collapse. To cover the hole in the roof, I put rocks on top of it and plastic when it's raining, but my children and I still stay awake all night due to the water leaking from the cover. I am reaching out to ETF to ask for help so I can buy materials to fix my roof and make it a safe and livable place for my family.

Hilda, as she is fondly called, is a faithful disciple from Davao City. She was one of the early converts of ICOC Davao and is actively serving in the seniors' ministry at her local church. She has been instrumental in many Bible studies and baptisms in their sector. For many years, Hilda and her husband have been living in a slum area. Unfortunately, they have been asked to find a new place to live by the owner. As senior citizens with monthly medication expenses that they pay out of their own pocket through odd jobs in the community, saving up to move to a new place has not been a priority. Their adult children also have families of their own and are financially struggling, so they are unable to help their parents.

We would like to express our gratitude in advance for the compassion and generosity of the ETF and their sponsors. Any amount that can be extended to Hilda and her husband will be a great help in facilitating their move and providing them with a new and safe place to stay.

My name is Gaby Castanedo. I have been a follower of Christ for 29 years in Mexico City. My brother introduced me to church. I suffer from heart failure due to a cardiovascular condition. I am 61 years old, a widow, and require oxygen around the clock. In addition to heart failure, I also have hypertension and hypothyroidism. My psychiatrist has prescribed medication to help me manage my mental health, as these illnesses have been very difficult to bear.

I used to crochet clothes to sell and generate income, but now I have Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. An upcoming x-ray will determine if I need surgery on my hand. Unfortunately, I can no longer crochet due to my injured tendons. I am also reliant on my government disability aid of 2,800 Mexican pesos every two months. I am reaching out for any financial assistance you can offer to help alleviate my financial difficulties and obtain proper medical care for my health issues. Thank you very much in advance, and God bless you.
