HELP NEEDED - SURGERY NEEDED DESPERATELY!

Today we invited Dr. T. to come and see her.  Her name is Lydia and she is blind due
to cataracts in both eyes.  There is a doctor in Bishkek who does state of the at
cataract surgery.  We want to have her screened for this surgery.  Maybe you will want to help.


Dr. T. will check this leg out as well - we are concerned about the healing.  She will also be changing bandages fro another babushka that we took books to (see below) who had frostbite and lost parts of both legs.  The dressings look very bad.


HAPPY FEET - NEW SLIPPERS HERE TOO!


RANDY HELPING CHECK OUT WHICH SLIPPERS FIT THIS BABUSHKA!

THEN OF COURSE WE SERVED THEM WITH A MEAL

WE LOVE TO DO THIS FOR OUR SENIORS


RUBY SERVING THE SENIORS...


LUBA AND KIM - KIM BOUGHT TWO C.S. LEWIS BOOKS FOR HER
SHE WAS DELIGHTED AS SHE IS BEDRIDDEN AND LOVES TO READ.

Luba had a severe case of frostbite and lost parts of both legs.  Her bandages were in very bad shape and needed changed.  She asked if we could bring new and clean bandages.  We were very sad to see how they has seeped and were in GREAT need of being changed.  This was the main reason we called Dr. T. to come and check out the seniors.  She said she would bring bandages and come to re-bandage her foot and leg.

HOW YOU CAN HELP - SPONSORSHIP FOR FOUR SENIORS WITH NO INCOME

This winter - eight seniors were brought to Kemin off the icy streets of Tokmok.  With the advent of spring, four seniors returned to the streets and four said they wanted to remain at Kemin.  The issue here is they have NO documents and NO support of any kind.  We are hoping to find sponsors for them - to cover them for the rest of this year.  
Cost?

$50 per month per senior or 8 months =$400 per senior or
4 seniors - $1200.  Full support for the rest of the year!

Any combination will be so helpful.  Maybe you want to do this?
