This week I was able to buy 120 more Mama Kits. Such a blessing! Harriet called a few of the women who did not get one before. They were so glad to come by and pick one up. One mama had already delivered, but she brought the baby by for me to see. He was adorable. Then on Friday, Simon and Kelly arranged to shoot video of some of the kits getting passed out. They were also able to interview some of the women that the Crisis Pregnancy Center home. I was taking care of lawyer stuff most of the day, so I didn’t really get to help, but I’m so glad they were able to do this. We asked Harriet to see if she could get a few women to come by the house. She made a couple of calls and told a few women when she went to the market. They had close to 40 women come by in just a couple of hours. Amazing!

I also received an email of thanks from Harriet’s village. You may remember, she took a bunch of kits out to the village a few weeks ago. They asked all of the pregnant women to come to the clinic to get a kit. They were very excited and so grateful. So a big thank you to everyone that contributed to this effort. Many of the women said that to buy these supplies themselves would cost them around $15. For that amount of money, they could easily feed their family for a week or more. How amazing is it to think that your gift of just $5 can help to remove a huge financial burden and eliminate a big health risk for these mamas? Can you imagine giving birth in a mud hut, miles from a hospital, with no materials because you didn’t have the $15 to buy the supplies the hospital requires? This is reality for many of these women. $5 is all it takes to help a Mama out.
