A Note From Donna

I had almost forgotten how wonderful it feels to take medical attention and medications to people in need.  The smiles, and sometimes the tears of gratitude, are so inspiring.  And I love to see the joy on the faces of those who come to serve. ...

I want to begin by thanking each of you who prayed for our son’s surgery on January 26th.  Phil and I were able to be there with him for a few days and we are happy to report the surgery went well.  It’s remarkable to...
