Our team was robbed on the road. Three staff and two volunteers were delivering donated wheelchairs when they were robbed outside Addis Ababa. The bandits took our laptop, tools, and essential equipment. By God’s mercy, our team was not physically harmed, but they remain at risk when wheelchair deliveries depend on hired transportation.

We are raising $27,500 USD to replace the stolen equipment and purchase a used van so our team can travel more safely and deliver wheelchairs to people in great need. We've already made good progress toward this goal, but we need your help.

The World Health Organization estimates that as many as 17% of Ethiopians live with a disability. Your support delivers mobility to children, teens, and adults who have never had a wheelchair and have spent their lives crawling on the ground.

When a wheelchair arrives, everything changes. A child can go to school. An adult can work. A person who was treated as an outcast can experience dignity and hope.

A van means safer travel for our team. We need your help to continue delivering wheelchairs across all 12 Ethiopian regional states.

Please pray for us, donate toward the vehicle, and share this need with friends and family. We believe God can turn this loss into blessing and help us continue bringing mobility, dignity, and hope across Ethiopia. Would you join us?

ቡድናችን በመንገድ ላይ ዝርፊያ ተፈጸመበት

—— ———

ቡድናችን በመንገድ ላይ የዝርፊያ ጥቃት ደርሶበታል። ሶስት ሰራተኞች እና ሁለት በጎ ፈቃደኞች የተለገሱ የዊልቸር ድጋፎችን ለማድረስ ከአዲስ አበባ ወጣ ብለው በመጓዝ ላይ ሳሉ በሽፍቶች ተዘርፈዋል።

ሽፍቶቹ ላፕቶፓችንን፣ የስራ መሣሪያዎቻችንን እና ሌሎች አስፈላጊ ቁሳቁሶችን ወስደዋል።

በእግዚአብሔር ምሕረት በቡድናችን አባላት ላይ ምንም ዓይነት አካላዊ ጉዳት አልደረሰም፤ ሆኖም የዊልቸር ስርጭቱ በተከራዩ ተሽከርካሪዎች ላይ ጥገኛ እስከሆነ ድረስ አሁንም ለአደጋ የተጋለጡ ናቸው።

የራሳችን ቫን (ተሽከርካሪ) መኖሩ ለቡድናችን ደህንነቱ የተጠበቀ ጉዞ ማለት ነው። በሁሉም 12 የኢትዮጵያ ክልሎች የዊልቸር ስርጭቱን ለመቀጠል የእናንተ እርዳታ ያስፈልገናል።

እባካችሁ ስለ እኛ ጸልዩ፣ ለተሽከርካሪው መግዣ የሚሆን የገንዘብ ድጋፍ አድርጉ፣ እንዲሁም ይህንን ለወዳጅ ጓደኞቻችሁ እና ለቤተሰቦቻችሁ አጋሩልን።

እግዚአብሔር ይህንን የገጠመንን ተግዳሮት ወደ በረከት እንደሚለውጠው እና በመላው ኢትዮጵያ የመንቀሳቀስ ዕድልን፣ ክብርንና ተስፋን ማድረሳችንን እንድንቀጥል እንደሚረዳን እናምናለን።

እናንተስ ከእኛ ጋር ትቆማላችሁ?

With gratitude,

Saba Marcos

P.S. Our staff is choosing faith over fear. They continue to deliver wheelchairs throughout Ethiopia. Will you help them replace stolen equipment and travel more safely?
