Honduras Medical Care for Children

Priority Project: 4-47400-01-00

Olancho, Honduras

On any given day Dr. Sheree Lynch has some thirty children on a list. They are on this list waiting and hoping to find life-saving help not available in Honduras. All of these children have one thing in common; they were born with a congenital heart defect. This defect could easily be detected with an Echocardiogram, but the closest machine is in the capitol city, 4 hours away. The clinic where Sheree practices is now the only clinic in the county of Oloncho with staff trained in administering Echocardiograms. The demand for this service is great and Dr. Lynch hopes to acquire a used portable machine which costs approximately $30,000 to meet the growing need.

Your gift of $75 will help purchase this echocardiogram machine and possibly save a child’s life.
