It's been over half a year since the Kit Promise was founded and we are excited for the love and support that has helped save lives at Sarnelli -- Please see update from Fr. Shea on how your funds have made an impact on the children in Nongkhai:
The Kit Promise money arrived at about the same time as a very ill young girl Piyanoot arrived. She was very ill, with kidney failure, TB and AIDS. The doctors in the hospital suspected that she was raped, and she did point out one relative who has AIDS. The family, however, typically moved in to protect the guy. She was fortunate to have one of the kidney specialists at Chulalongkorn Hospital working every couple days a week at Nongkhai Hospital. She received a shunt so as to give her dialysis. Her heart stopped twice after the operation, and she began to talk like a small child, etc. She had infection issues; the shunt would not work. It was a nightmare. But, suddenly with the help of massive doses of antibiotics, she made an amzing comeback. The Buddhist doctor told us that Now I know what a miracle is! it also has been expensive. I had to renovate and re-paint and rewire a room for her that is able to be kept really clean and germ free. I am using Kit Promise money for her dialysis fluid and for stuff like antibiotics, a refrigerator and a TV, since she is alone for most of the time. Now, however, she walks and gets exercise and has put on one kilo of weight!
Lyn is losing sight of her left eye from bacteria in the nerves in the eye and soon will need the eye removed and a glass eye inserted. Right now she is receiving special medicines and eye drops. Another girl has a new glass eye, thanks to you!
We just took in a pitifully thin and listless boy named Ben, who has TB, AIDS and is losing the sight of both eyes. These cases and a few others, are the ones who are on the Kit Promise list. In other words, our emergency fund is Kit Promise. Hi to all the Kit Promise people back there!
