The bald truth is this – most clinics and hospitals will not treat those who have been beaten, burned, raped, stabbed and shot by Mugabe’s thugs, as the doctors and nursing staff have been threatened with the same if they do. Furthermore, the countrywide sweep of brutality is such, numbered in the thousands, that even if the hospitals and clinics would treat them, they do not have even the most basic supplies available – things we take for granted: bandages, sterile gauze pads, antiseptics, antibiotics, analgesics, syringes, needles, sutures, disposable gloves and all the necessities for treating injuries caused by extreme violence.
I have a dear Zimbabwean friend, now living in SA, whom I have known for over 40 years, who is doing all he can within his means and at considerable personal expense to help the hopeless, helpless, wounded, frightened, victims (most of whom have had their homes destroyed, too) – as he has done for the last 10 years. He would appreciate any contribution to help pay for their medical expenses and supply them with much-needed medical supplies.
His plea is simply this:
If anyone wishes to make any donation, no matter how small, to help these poor wretched souls, go to website at http://www.zimfund.com which is used to collect funds for medical expenses.
So, I’m passing on his cry for help.
Help if you can, please. And pass this plea on to everyone you know.
With thanks and blessings.
In Jesus Christ’s love and service,
Colleen.
