Assist Public Health In Honduras

We invite you to contribute to help us purchase a new motorcycle for the community health coordinator in Limón. Cooper is an essential assistant here in need of transportation. Please don’t buy us a car; it can’t get where he and the nurses need to go. He needs a motorcycle. Total cost: $6,400. Raised so far: $2,300. When $5,000 has been committed, a final donor will send the last $1,500 needed. Thanks in advance! You can make secure tax-deductible donations online via First United Methodist Church in Hermiston, OR: bit.ly/3sb5fUd
Or make out a check to “FUMC,” write “Amigas” in the memo line, and mail to
FUMC
