Joy Received Her Joy Again - THE STORY OF ONE OF THE 941 PEOPLE WE SERVED AT OUR MEDICAL OUTREACH AT ST. THOMAS CLINIC IN PORT HARCOURT On the second day of the medical outreach that took place in August, our medical assistant, Dr Alabi gave me the situation report of the case of a woman who had a large fibroid tumor. She had previously consulted with other hospitals but could not afford the price of the surgery. She had been married for 15 years and was not able to conceive a child. Her inability to conceive had caused a lot of tension in her marriage and she was now separated from her husband. Dr. Alabi pleaded that we find a way of helping her as her case was really pitiful. Since we could not do mass surgery during the outreach, we made arrangements for her to have the surgery done after the outreach. It was done at a subsidized rate as she could not afford the standard price. Some few weeks later, the woman’s pastor came to the clinic with her to show appreciation. We were also informed that she will be moving back with her husband. I had to let them know that her family was united and her joy was restored all because of the generosity and kindheartedness of some donors of Kateri Medical Services some five thousand miles away in the United States.
Without your kindheartedness, Joy (by the way, that is her real name) would not have gotten her joy back. Thank you, once again to all donors and the board of Kateri Medical Services. Reported by Rev. Dr. Olaniyi Olaobaju
