Maria Elena - Santa Cruz, Bolivia

Maria Elena and Carlos, a devoted couple serving in full-time ministry at our Santa Cruz, Bolivia church, are facing a challenging time. Their family, which includes two school-aged children (an 11-year-old daughter and an 8-year-old son), is grappling with Maria Elena's deteriorating health. Unfortunately, a recent diagnosis revealed a 2.8-centimeter kidney stone and another in her gallbladder. These stones are causing significant health issues and require surgery for removal.

While a fellow church member, a surgeon by profession, has generously offered to perform the surgery at no cost, the family is burdened with the remaining expenses associated with the procedure. These include hospital fees, anesthesia & medications needed for recovery. We are requesting ETF for financial assistance. Any contribution, whether big or small, will be greatly appreciated and will go directly towards Maria Elena's surgery and recovery. Your support will not only alleviate their financial stress but also demonstrate the love and compassion that is the foundation of our church family.
