Local family donates deceased child's medical suppliesIn June of last year a family came out to Project SAVE with a truck and SUV filled with child-related medical supplies. They had just lost their little son, Ethan. Our hearts ached for them and I think all of us who helped receive the supplies were teary as well, sharing in their loss. We assured them we would try to find a good home for their supplies. We sent Ethan's wheelchair with his name inscribed on the back of it to Papua, New Guinea. Some of the more difficult-to-place items left this last month in the shipment to Uganda with Zest4Kidz, a hospital for disabled children. Read the full story here.
