Compassion Care for Disabled Children Inc

What it reported doing in 2025

CareCoach, Inc. of Duluth, GA, a company that provides medical services to rural homebound elderly patients, made a wonderful GIK donation to us of 200 brand new and gently used stand-alone blood pressure monitoring units. We worked with Christian Connections for International Health to identify fellow member nonprofits with medical missions that could use these units. The MAMA Project, in Pennsburg, PA was building Well Mother and Baby Kits, and the one component that they were lacking (and about to buy at significant expense), was BP units Using a combination of CareCoach managers and DCF volunteers (including 2 board members), we were able to inspect 115 units, pack them, and ship them to Pennsburg via overnight air, so that the units could be included in the kits, and be loaded onto a cargo ship that had donated cargo space. 85 units went to MAMA Projects clinics in South Sudan. The rest went to their smaller operations in Kenya and India, with the rem being sent separately to Haiti. All of these countries have faced massive natural disasters, and violence, up to and including civil war. In all these places, birth complications are way too common, as are maternal and infant deaths. Children who do survive, sometimes develop physical or cognitive disabilities from a birth trauma. We are so joyful to be able to partner with these great Pennsylvanians in saving lives. We also sent 45 of these units to Mission to Ukraine (MTU). We have had strong working relationship with them since the unprovoked Russian invasion of their country in 2022. They are located in Zhitomir, in Western Ukraine, in between Kyiv and the Polish border. They provide a full range of medical, and physical occupational therapy services to over 600 disabled children. We sent them 45 BP monitoring units, also using expedited shipping so the units could be shipped within a few days via cargo ship. , We also collected and shipped over 100 pairs of winter mittens and gloves to MTU, contributed by wonderful donors from Maryland and Indiana.
