Rescue of the Island of Hope Clinic, which has been helping in Kenya for 16 years, continues

Dear friends, thank you all very much for your support so far, for establishing new partnerships, and for the wave of solidarity and support from all individual and corporate donors. Great support is also coming from Kenya – most of the clinic’s staff immediately stood up for its rescue and continued providing medical care to patients without claiming salaries. This has helped us bridge several more months, but it is still not enough to cover the full year of operations. We therefore continue our efforts to save the clinic and thank you for your further help and for sharing this appeal.
