Elizabeth, a faithful disciple of Caracas Church in Venezuela for 23 years, has been experiencing excruciating pain in her left knee for four months. Despite several tests, the doctors failed to diagnose the issue until a soft tissue echo revealed a muscle tear. However, due to a delay in treatment, her condition worsened, and her meniscus was torn with a compromised ligament. The doctors have recommended surgery as an urgent requirement for Elisabeth's medical condition. However, the hospital isn't equipped with the necessary resources to perform the surgery, which has resulted in a delay. Elisabeth's family has decided to move her to another hospital that can perform the surgery because she is experiencing unbearable pain.Any financial assistance that you can provide to help alleviate the financial and physical burden on Elisabeth would be greatly appreciated.

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.
