Many Hands Make the Load Lighter!

The Medical Advocacy Team (see their link to the right) is a program of Remember International, Inc. who is currently working in several countries in Africa and the Caribbean. They are supporting participating in-country medical clinics that provide impoverished children with low-cost or free medical intervention. There are times, however, in which children’s medical needs are greater than can be provided by clinics or hospitals in their home countries, and they are referred to M.A.T. If medical care is not possible in their home country, the wheels are set in motion to arrange for treatment in the United States. Currently, M.A.T. is working closely with Haiti and has successfully been given medical visas for several young patients. M.A.T.'s primary goal is to find care and ease suffering for medically fragile children by providing opportunities for as many children as possible to receive medical care and support that enabling them to stay with their birth families.

Mike and I have decided we would like to become involved with M.A.T. We are filling out applications to become a host family for children in need of medical care here in the States. Mike is also offering his services for children in need of surgery. We are unsure how God will use us in all of this; however, we feel lead to be a part.

We are asking all of our blog friends to consider purchasing one of these t-shirts from M.A.T. The newly-formed organization is selling these to raise much-needed funds to help the children in need of medical care. Please use this link: M.A.T. T-Shirt to order your shirt today!
