A New Life Through IMA World Health

Meet Brigitte, one of the millions of people whose lives have been saved through your support.

Our friend Brigitte had a choice — and it’s a choice that no one should have to make. She could either feed her family for the month, or she could buy the essential medical supplies she needed to safely deliver her new baby.

Brigitte lives outside of Port au Prince, Haiti, where many patients have to provide their own supplies when they enter the hospital. These basic supplies, such as gauze and a scalpel, cost $35 – the same amount Brigitte’s family makes in an entire month. But without these crucial items, the risk of serious infection and even death is very real for expectant women like Brigitte.

Thankfully, IMA staff in Haiti recently gave her some good news. Thanks to generous supporters like you, Brigitte received the supplies needed for a safe birth. She recently welcomed a new life into the world, a baby boy, safely and without fear.

And because of IMA’s ongoing work in Haiti, Brigitte can also receive safe drugs to ward off a host of debilitating tropical diseases, and her child may receive a new pair of TOMS Shoes to help prevent infection and soil-borne disease.

Instead of facing sickness and even death, she now looks forward to a healthy future. Thank you for helping Brigitte and her family find hope and a new beginning!
