Our number one request for medicine donations is for child and adult Multiple Vitamins. We can use unlimited amounts as malnutrition and pregnancy is common in Jamaica. Dressing supplies, Ace wraps (or similar), and Band Aids are very useful. Please consider cleaning out your closet or basement of old crutches, wheelchairs, commodes, walkers, leg (CAM) braces, ankle splints, AFO's (for foot drop), back braces, arm slings, neck collars, hand/arm splints such as for carpal tunnel syndrome, nebulizers, CPAP machines. We will get these "lightly used" items to people who can really use them. This year we are planning to give donated "lightly used" watches as "prizes" to patients coming to the clinic who do not need any medication so that they do not leave the clinic pharmacy empty handed.
to trust in Christ, grow in faith, and serve God’s world.
