I received this note from a friend this week...
You may not know this about me, but I do not think globally. I tend to gravitate toward causes that are in my city. But, when I received your invitation to consider giving to the medical needs of the upcoming Doma trip to Ethiopia, I didn't immediately discard it. I read the description more than once, actually. On Saturday of last week, our son had a fever of 102 degrees. The doctor's office told us that we were doing everything right and to alternate Tylenol and Motrin. If he still had the fever on Thursday, then the doctor would see us on Friday. When we ran out of medicine, we didn't think twice about running to CVS to pick up two new bottles, which cost over $10.
It made me realize how lucky we are that we could do that and how helpless parents in Ethiopia must feel when they cannot make their own children feel better. Our eyes and hearts were opened by something that we had not previously considered, and we took a moment to humbly remember how blessed we truly are by contributing to the Doma medical mission to Ethiopia.
Please consider giving toward the medicine and supplies necessary for Doma's April trip to Ethiopia.
