Help With Matsie's Medical Expenses

Donation protected
Pfunanane is a ministry in Modjadjiskloof, South Africa, with a Christian school that serves underpriveleged children in our area.  Matsie has been a student in Pfunanane's sponsorship program since 2009, when she started preschool.  She is a kind and funny little girl who loves school.  Now 10 years old and in grade 5, she has been struggling with her health for the past year...whereas most children respond to daily medication, Matsie's body has continued to deteriorate, leaving her in and out of hospital all year.  On January 13th she became very ill again and was unable to walk, and was admitted into the ICU and put on life support.   Despite a grim prognosis, she has people all over the world praying for her, and she continues to fight for her life.  
We made the decision to put her into a private hospital, as that was the only way she would have a chance at surviving.  We felt that you can't put a dollar amount on a child's life, and that everything possible should be done to save her.   Although we aren't yet sure of the exact amount, her care could be as much as $1,000 per day, and the bills are piling up.  We are trusting God that we will be able to cover them, and that we have done the right thing by giving her a fighting chance!  Any amount is very much appreciated, and all money raised will go directly towards paying her hospital bills at Mediclinic Tzaneen.  We have put these bills on credit cards, and Ed Haver (the treasurer of non-profit Pfunanane Ministries Inc. in Scott Depot, WV, our USA base for handling Pfunanane's finances) will be withdrawing all funds raised on this site in order to pay the credit card bills,  

We are so thankful for the love, prayers, and support that have been shown to Matsie and her family in this time.
