An Inspirational Story
Sheryl's Story: "Christmas in July"
Please click on the link below to read more about this inspiring story, and how Project SAVE played a part.
Some of our hospital supplies come from the government; but with budget cuts and supply shortages, we rely heavily on donated items. Lately, we have been short on sterile gloves, sutures, dressing gauze, IV fluids, essential medications… pretty much everything. So you can image our joy when a 20ft shipping container arrived this week packed full of donated medications, surgical supplies, dressing supplies, and much more. It was like Christmas in August!

We received this message, 5/20/21, from Roatan, Honduras. Leo Weiss and the Chico Sunrise Rotary club working in conjunction with the Roatan Rotary sent many boxes of CPAP supplies and machines from Project SAVE. These machines will be converted and used to help ventilate covid patients in Roatan. We are delighted to hear back from them and to know it was well-received. We so appreciate the video clip and are delighted to be able to help
