For 34 years, Michelle has been a faithful member of the Kingston Church of Christ. Her mother, then delving deep into biblical studies, first introduced her to the community. Michelle's dedication has shone through in her diverse roles: from ushering in Children's ministry to leading Bible Talks and supervising the Count Team. Michelle, a woman of unwavering dedication, has spent her life serving others. Her calling initially led her to children's ministry, and later, she found herself contributing to the catering business. Unfortunately, over twelve years ago, hereditary ataxia dealt a cruel blow, severely limiting her mobility and speech. Unable to care for herself anymore, and with her ability to earn income significantly hampered, she even exhausted her savings due to the illness.

Yet, despite these trials, Michelle's spirit remains resolute, her joy undimmed. Her faith and the Church continue to be the steady pillars of her strength. Your help with covering her daily needs, medication, therapy and other essential caregiving support would make a significant difference.

My name is Delia Guadalupe Zatarain Arias. I am 64 years old and have been a disciple of Christ for 20 years. Twelve years ago, I started using orthopedic devices and special shoes because of a physical condition in my legs that required me to go through several surgeries. A few years later, I was diagnosed with scoliosis, which meant that my spine was deformed in an S-shape. I had to wear an orthopedic device from chin to hip that limited my movements, caused sores on my waist, and had to use it for two years.

Recently, I was diagnosed with an infection in my pancreas known as Malta Fever. Now, I need to take pills every day and get a vaccine regularly. Due to my health condition, I had to leave my job and depend on my husband's work. However, now that my husband is retired, the pension he is receiving is not enough to cover our basic needs and my medication. My husband is 69 years old, and it's challenging for him to find a job because of his age. He is planning to work again so that he can provide for both of us. I am reaching out to ETF for financial assistance in covering my medical bills for the next few months. This will help alleviate the burden of my expenses and allow me to focus on improving my health. Thank you for considering my request.

My name is Hatikariri Muzanamombe. I was baptized on February 10th, 1998, at the Harare Church. My wife, Suellen, was baptized on January 26th, 2002. We got married on March 14th, 2003, and we are blessed with two sons, Terrence (19) and Lawrence (13). I am self-employed and run my own business in the printing industry. Unfortunately, the economic challenges faced in Zimbabwe have made it difficult to earn a steady income, and there are times when money does not come in.

My wife suffers from epilepsy and hypertension. After experiencing her first epilepsy attack in early 2012, she was prescribed medication for both conditions. It has been on and off for all these years, and she has suffered some burns and wounds. Her hands have become too weak to handle things, and she has difficulty feeding herself due to a stroke on her left side. Despite frequent hospital visits, her health has deteriorated to the extent that she is unable to bathe herself. Balancing work and attending to my wife's needs has been challenging. Witnessing Suellen's vibrant spirit trapped in a weakened body is the most immense heartache of my life. The fear in her eyes after a seizure haunts me. But she fights every day with a courage that fills me with awe. Eeach slight movement of her hand, sends a surge of hope through me, only to be dashed by the next setback.

Physiotherapy could be the turning point. The doctor believes it can help her regain control of basic movements, like feeding herself or tending to her hygiene. This wouldn't just ease her physical burden but restore a tiny piece of her independence and dignity. It would mean I could breathe easier while working, and while the kids are at school, knowing she's not alone in her struggle. We've exhausted our savings; every penny we earn goes towards her medication, medical bills, and the kids' education. Yet, we're stuck in a relentless cycle of hope and despair.

Please, Grant our request; give my wife a chance to reclaim a part of her life. Your kindness wouldn't just heal her body; it would mend our broken hearts and fill our home with the echoes of her laughter.
