PROVIDING AID TO THE NEEDY - Part of our Mission
Back at the warehouse we catalog everything and often have to make repairs to equipment. Recently we had to replace the wheels on about eight gurneys. This effort is accomplished by volunteers!
Then comes the shipment. We have a cargo container delivered to the warehouse and volunteers fill it up. We have to produce an accurate bill of lading. The container will be inspected by the recipient country’s custom agency. It is then loaded on trucks for local delivery to the hospitals and clinics we support. It is hard to calculate the benefits provided to hundreds if not thousands of patients in need.
Part of our mission is to provide medical supplies and equipment to the disadvantaged, both at home and abroad. Multiple times a year we fill a cargo container full of supplies and ship them to distant communities such as Honduras, Ecuador, and the Dominican Republic, for example.
This process starts by collecting the supplies, mainly from local hospitals and clinics. We will rent a 24’ truck (or use our own pick-ups) and collect the supplies. Often these trips go to Hammond or Houma or to hospitals in our neighborhood. The supplies vary, including beds, gurneys, dialysis machines, surgical carts, blankets, surgical drapes, or even fluids.
“Deliver medical relief and expertise to the underprivileged population of the world, and respond to local needs, through services, treatment, and supplies, in a manner that respects the dignity and self-esteem of program recipients and volunteers.”
