My name is Djedje, and I have been a devoted follower of Jesus since 1991 and been part of he Church in Ivory Coast. I lost my job recently due to my eye problem. My vision has been blurry, and I am unable to perform my job well. As of today, my eyesight has worsened, but I haven't been able to get a proper diagnosis due to my financial situation. This has made it difficult for me to support and provide for my family.  

I am reaching out to ETF for any financial assistance so that I can afford to get a proper doctor's diagnosis and know what to do to alleviate the burden and pain that I am experiencing. Thank you so much for your time and consideration. May God bless you.

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.

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.

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.

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.
