Medical Supplies Needed!

Hi everyone!


I wanted to give you an update of what kind of progress we have made so far.  We have received approximately $2K in cash donations that will help pay for travel and shipping of supplies to Ghana.  Right now I am reaching out to the World Health Organization, on a global level, and local city council members for assistance in getting medical supplies.  


Believe it or not, virtually everything has an expiration date of some kind.  You may wonder, "Why would a bandage have an expiration date at all?"  Well....after a certain amount of time the adhesive on a bandage may not stick to the skin as well so hospitals, clinics and doctor's office have to dispose of these items.  The US restrictions don't allow some of these  items to be used after the expiration date even though they are still sterile and usable.


These supplies are ideal for use in Ghana!  They are still perfectly fine for medical use so why not donate to Hearts for Hearts?   Do you have a surplus of unwanted medical supplies or know of a hospital or Dr.'s office that would be willing to donate? You can make a difference by donating those supplies to the foundation and we will take them to distribute where they are most needed and put to good use.


Please email me at mai@hforhfoundation.org if you have any contacts that can help.  


Thank you!!
