My name is Anasse, and I have been a devoted follower of Jesus for the past eight years. Up until 2022, I used to work for a small company and earned a minimum wage. Unfortunately, due to my Acute Osteoarthritis, I had to stop working as it made it impossible for me to walk and move around normally. This condition has caused me excruciating pain in my knee joints, and I now rely on a crutch to support my body when standing and moving. I have already spent all of my savings on medical bills and am struggling to cover my ongoing expenses. Therefore, I am reaching out to ETF for financial assistance to cover my medical expenses, including doctor appointments and maintenance. Any help that can be provided would be greatly appreciated in easing my financial burden.

My name is Eva Yabet. I'm 50 years old, and I'm a Plastic Artist. I studied Visual Arts. I've been happily married for the past 17 years and got married in the church. During the pandemic, I gained a lot of weight, reaching 108 kilos, which caused me to develop diabetes, fatty liver, and poor circulation. This, along with post-traumatic stress, led to insomnia, anxiety, and chronic inflammatory skin condition. Dealing with these treatments has been very difficult for me both financially and emotionally. Currently, I am also experiencing hair loss, hearing loss, and rhino-laryngitis as a result of COVID-19.
I've received treatment for some of these ailments in different hospitals, and due to my illness, I was included in the social program of free specialized services in Mycology, Dermatology, Nutrition, Obesity, Psychiatry, and Gender Clinic. Thanks to God, I've recovered from some of the diseases. However, I'm still under treatment for some of them, which requires me to regularly buy other medicines, including a special device called an Auto-CPAP (costing $20,000), which helps me achieve optimal pulmonary ventilation and combat sleep apnea, preventing cardiac arrest during sleep. I also require daily insulin injections to manage my appetite and maintain my insulin levels, which is not always available in the hospital. I'm humbly reaching out to you to request financial assistance to acquire these medicine and and hopefully buy the Auto CPAP machine. I've not been able to carry on with all the medications and treatments due to financial constraints. I appreciate your willingness to help, and may God bless you.

My name is Norah Kamwambo. I have been a disciple for 31 years and was baptized in South Africa. In 1995, I relocated back home to Zimbabwe. I am a single mother of two boys and two girls, and I have six grandchildren. After retiring from working at a pharmacy, I now rely solely on my pension. But since my 47-year-old daughter was diagnosed with mental health problems, everything has changed. She needs to take medication every day to control her mood swings. Due to the high price of her medication, my monthly pension is not enough to cover the cost. Additionally, my grandsons live with me.
I am reaching out to my brothers and sisters for help during this difficult time. I need support to be able to provide medicines for my daughter and food for my grandchildren. Any amount of help is highly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

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.

I have been associated with the HOPE Foundation for almost a decade now.

My name is Gerlie. I have been working in Qatar since 2019. Upon starting my work abroad, I sought out a church community. After four months of studying the faith, I was baptized on October 11th, 2019, at ICOC Qatar. I've been employed by a private company since 2019. That same year, my 16-year-old sister, Gen Micah, received a diagnosis of Generalized seizures.
To help ease the family's financial burden, my mother sells street food from our home. As the sole breadwinner, supporting my family has been a significant challenge. Unfortunately, both of my parents require medical attention. My father, who is 68 years old, has a heart condition. Additionally, my mother, who is 58, needs a mastectomy due to lumps in her breast. Balancing their needs with my sister's ongoing medical expenses, which total roughly $320 per month for therapy, medication, and doctor appointments, has been incredibly difficult. My mother's upcoming surgery only adds to the financial strain. During this challenging time for my family, I am reaching out to ETF in hopes of receiving financial assistance to pay for my mother and sister’s medical expenses. We will be forever grateful for any amount you can give.
