Glucose Monitor

As I was buying a new mosquito net tonight I recalled a doctor in Jacmel , Haiti this weekend was desperate for a glucose testing machine. I looked at two of them in the store where I was purchasing the mosquito protection. The first one was very expensive. I settled on the less expensive one because I did not have the money to spend on this. I bought the machine for 3861 pesos here in the Dominican Republic . I put it on my charge card and figured some how I would manage it. At the end of every month I pay off my bill so I hoped this month would be no different.


On the drive from the store I received a phone call from my dad. I had not talked to him in a little more than a week and he was checking in on me. He also wanted to let me know that his chapter of the Knights of Columbus from his church have donated $100 dollars to me. That donation paid for all but $7 of that glucose testing machine.

I am sending the machine to Jacmel in the morning to be personally delivered by a good friend of mine. He will hand it to the doctor himself, Dr. Philip. Dr. Phillip has been working tirelessly since the earthquake to save lives and literally limbs. He is a general doctor but has been called into service to accomplish it all during this tragedy. Please pray for him.

Isn't it wonderful when God just takes care of his children sometimes $100 at a time! MESI ANPIL is Creole for THANK YOU VERY MUCH Knights of Columbus from St Johns Church in Marshall 's Creek, PA.
