Our dedicated team of doctors, nurses and outreach staff meet the local health challenges daily with patience, perseverance, warmth and skill. They tend to patients suffering from kidney stones, dengue, respiratory infections, diarrhea and other illnesses, all of which are exacerbated by the lack of clean water. And they respond to emergencies of all kinds, from families losing their homes in natural disasters to the diabetes crisis to moto accidents. The Clinic also has a nutrition program that provides healthy meals and education to undernourished families. Our mobile medical team traverses rugged terrain to bring care to isolated communities. In the past year, we've served over 10,000 patients who required emergency care - and reached 17,000 more patients through outreach wellness checks and medicines. Our pharmacy has served over 9,000 locals and foreigners in need of urgent care. We also run holistic programs focused on education, nutrition and sustainable food sources with our community garden. The Healthy Eating Initiative trains over 60 families in organic gardening, providing tools, seeds and land to cultivate nutritious crops. And through sponsorships, we've supported over 47 families, enabling children to pursue university degrees. But as I mentioned above, we need to repair and restore the facility that houses not only our water purification system, but our medical offices and patient rooms. So I'm writing you today for your help, especially as we enter the spring, a time of renewal for our team and facility. Please help us make this happen. We need continued support for the processing facility, the distribution vehicles and repairs to the main clinic building. I'm happy to say that we'll receive matching funds of up to $20,000 from The Oxford Club for this spring campaign, so your tax-deductible donation today will have double the impact! The need in challenged regions of the Americas like Nicaragua is immense. But you can directly impact lives there in a very positive way for relatively little. Here's a breakdown of how contributions of any size can help. Resource | Annual Donation | Monthly Donation | Replace the Clinic's roof | $8,000 | $667 | Repair the Clinic's electrical system | $7,000 | $583 | Provide clean water for school and health centers for one month | $3,000 | $250 | Provide food for 50 families for one month | $2,100 | $175 | Fund one community healthcare outreach event | $1,200 | $100 | Support one Padrino child for one year | $600 | $50 | Support one community organic farm plot for one month | $120 | $10 | Please join us in continued support for this life-saving work. Your tax-deductible gift to the Roberto Clemente Health Clinic, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, will help deliver clean water, health services and urgent care, and greater empowerment to the most vulnerable in Nicaragua. Together, we can help strengthen these deserving communities with greater health and hope. Thank you for your continuous attention to this impoverished region of the Americas! With warmest regards, Julia Cooke Guth Chair, The Oxford Advisory Council Founder & Board Chair, The Roberto Clemente Health Clinic jguth@nicaclinic.org P.S. The Oxford Club has generously pledged to match the funds for this campaign - up to $20K! Go here to contribute now and potentially double your impact! |
