Children Facing Surgery

Why do these kids look so solemn?  Well, I wonder how you would feel if you've just been through a bunch of lab tests at the clinic you're familiar with, but now you find yourself at a crowded hospital in a nearby city.  You had to ride in the back of truck or motor bike to get here, which was exciting at first, but now they've dressed you up funny and are going to stick you with a needle and then you will feel really strange and confused, but you can still see and hear.  Then they will put you on a bed and roll you into a big room where a group of people with masks on are going to fix that bump on your stomach that you always wanted not to be there.

You feel alone and scared.  How much better it would have been to be in your own hometown!

Well, Visitation Hospital Foundation is working to change that.  Our next phase of construction will include a building with two surgical suites, inpatient beds and a focus on children's and women's services.  Our existing facility will house a dental suite for everyone's needs.  The plans are being drawn up and we are hoping to begin soon, but only with your help. 

Visiting teams have already begun to work at the Visitation Clinic, but surgical teams are waiting for the opportunity to rotate their specialty each month at our facility. 

Soon, we will have drawings of the hospital facility that we will share with you.  Please prayerfully join us in continuing to provide quality competent and compassionate health care in Haiti. You can click on the Donate button above and give a gift or pledge to VHF.  Hope you will do just that!
