Help the sick please !

I do desperately need your help in obtaining medicines for the sick poor here in Salinding (Tanje), The Gambia. I know I am always begging but these folks are here asking for help and what can I do?
There are about 20-30 people that come to Nazareth hermitage for medical help each morning and afternoon. We are busy dressing wounds and dispensing medicines at no cost to the villagers. This time the purse is empty and we are having to turn folks away once more. This morning I had to shut the gate as we have run out of nearly every medicine. This is the second time this has happened in this year so please.
 In just another month the rainy season will begin and that means also that the Malaria season begins. Our patient load will go up drastically and we will need more and more malaria curative drugs (Coartem or Co-Arynate) Folks from this village and many other surrounding villages will come in droves. The patient load will go up to 40-50 persons per day. The sick will walk from their other villages or ride in a donkey cart or even be carried on a friends back. Some folks are able to walk into Nazareth...others are carried on backs and lay down on the floor when they arrive. It is a very rough sight to look at. When I went out the first morning to open the gate to the hermitage I was horrified to see so many sick people needing help and wondered if I had bitten off more than I could chew but the Lord always comes through. This is his work, not mine.


Your donation for these and other medications will really be a blessing not just for the sick but for each one of you as well. "Blessed are the merciful for they shall obtain mercy"

I am on my knees begging for your help. Ten years ago it would have never entered my mind to become a beggar but since becoming one for God's children, it  is the most blessed work I can do. Please help!  Your gift may save someone's life or make someone well.

 

All of he sick who come to Nazareth and receive help are told about your kindness and all are asked to pray for each of you. About 95 % of those coming for help are Muslim and the rest are Christians. All are praying for you.

Thank you for your help in the past and I beg you to continue.
