Dear Friends of Zimbabwe,
Its with much gratitude that I write to thank you for your assistance with our latest request for help for Portia (see May 28th blog). You cannot believe what a difference even $25 makes! Click here to donate now and enter Portia in the comment under Greatest Need.
The good news is that she was able to have the surgery plus some of the follow-up tests to not only get her out of the danger zone, but also clear her to live with a fresh and fearless outlook. The great news is that she is doing well as she recovers, and the entire family is very grateful. We normally do not ask for help for individuals, but when someone is so deeply involved with Nhimbe and its future, there is no question.
Her test results took a bit to come back, and, in the meantime, she has been studying dietary changes and just generally reclaiming a positive attitude. Years of adapting to pain without relief does wear on one’s outlook!
We know that our MailChimp emails are ending up in many spam folders, so we ask that you do whatever it takes to help us find our way to your mailbox. You being able to tell the Nhimbe story can be just as important as sending donations. We (as in everyone involved in the states and on the ground in Zimbabwe) appreciate whatever you can do. You do make the difference!
We haven’t quite reached the $2,000 goal for Portia, so, if you are able and inclined, please know that some of the last-minute donations that have come in (I suspect people finding us in their spam folders) are definitely pushing us to meet our goal. See from the picture how she is a very active woman being professionally employed full-time, plus a mother and wife. I thought I was busy! May she have many more healthy years blending work and family living!
Tatenda Chaizvo! (We thank you very much!)
