Success Story: Yeabsira- #ThisIsWhyIRun

Overcoming Health Challenges: Yeabsira's Journey 


Meet Yeabsira, a vibrant 7-year-old whose early encounter with a severe ear infection could have altered her life permanently. Our Satellite Medical Clinic, staffed by volunteer healthcare professionals including doctors, nurses, and pharmacists, intervened just in time.

Critical Discovery 

Yeabsira was struggling with Otitis media, a painful condition that risked permanent hearing loss. Thanks to our vigilant volunteers at the clinic, her condition was quickly diagnosed. These volunteers work tirelessly, providing their services free of charge, ensuring that donations go directly toward essential medications and medical supplies.

Timely Healing

For a mere $4, Yeabsira received a comprehensive health check, effective treatment with antibiotics, and education on preventative care which her family could continue at home. The swift care she received brought her immediate relief and restored her vibrant spirit.

Impact of Volunteer Efforts 

The transformation in Yeabsira was profound. Her family, previously unaware of her health risk, are now educated and grateful for the life-changing support. The care Yeabsira received exemplifies our program's dual focus on intervention and prevention, aiming to ensure that health issues do not hinder a child's ability to learn and grow.
