The scale and scope of World Relief's work can seem overwhelming at times and cause us to feel disconnected from what is happening to individual lives. That's why it's helpful to hear specific examples of how your contributions are making a difference to real people, those we serve and those who are serving. Two examples are below.

Journey to Healing
Alex found insufficient care at Port-Au-Prince
Life can change dramatically in just a few moments. For 27 year-old Alex Dorelieu, those moments came when a car collided with his motorcycle resulting in a compound fracture of his left leg. His next 13 days were spent suffering in a hospital in Port-Au-Prince with just a cast and no pain medication. Knowing he might lose his leg and in need of more extensive care, Alex made the 4-hour trip to Hospital Lumiere. Since arriving, Alex has had 5 surgeries, and with the help of Jimmy in physical therapy, he is now walking with crutches. "The employees have a good heart and provide good care" says Alex. With your prayers and support Hospital Lumiere can continue to provide excellent medical care with compassion and Christian love to Alex and to others in need.
For God is not unrighteous to forget your work and labour of love, which ye have shewed toward his name, in that ye have ministered to the saints, and do minister. Hebrews 6:10
