**Dear [Family/Friends

Grace and peace to you in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. I write to you today with a heart both heavy and hopeful—a father’s plea for his child, and a believer’s trust in the power of community and prayer.

Our beloved son, **Munatsi Mapise**, at four months old had a spinal cord surgery.He entered this world with a radiant smile and a fighting spirit, but he still requires another critical follow up surgery: *myelomeningocele*, a severe form of spina bifida. Without urgent surgery, Munatsi faces irreversible complications, including paralysis, loss of bowel and bladder control, and lifelong nerve damage. As his parents, we have clung to faith and exhausted every resource, but time is running out.

### **The Path Forward**
After months of prayer and consultations, we’ve secured a lifeline: Munatsi’s surgical repair can be performed at **Citimed Hospital in Zimbabwe** for **$8,000 USD**. While we explored options abroad, this local solution allows our family to stay united, ensuring Munatsi has the emotional support he needs during recovery. Delays since March have only heightened the risks, and we can no longer shoulder this burden alone.

### **Our Humble Request**
We humbly appeal for your support—*in any measure you can give*—to help us secure Munatsi’s future. Whether through financial gifts, sharing this appeal, or intercessory prayer, your partnership will be a testament to God’s love in action.

**Ways to Give:**
1. **EcoCash (Zimbabwe):** [phone redacted] (Peter Mapise)
2. **Direct Bank Transfer:** [Hospital/Doctor Account Details – Available Upon Request]
3. **International Support:** Contact us for secure transfer options.

We are happy to provide medical documentation or connect you directly with Munatsi’s doctors for verification.

### **A Father’s Heart**
As I hold Munatsi, I am reminded of the father in Mark 9:24 who cried, *“I believe; help my unbelief!”* We trust in God’s promises for Munatsi’s life, yet we ache to act swiftly. This surgery is not just medical care—it is the key to a future where our son can run, laugh, and fulfill the purpose God has woven into his story.

### **Closing in Faith**
We thank you for standing with us in this valley. Your generosity, whether great or small, will echo eternally in our hearts and in Munatsi’s life. We pray blessings over you, as Scripture says, *“Give, and it will be given to you… pressed down, shaken together, and running over”* (Luke 6:38).

With profound gratitude and hope,

**Peter & Tariro Mapise**
*(Munatsi’s parents

*“For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.”*
**—Jeremiah 29:11** Please share this appeal with your circles. Even if you cannot give, your prayers and advocacy are invaluable. Thank you for being God’s hands and feet in our time of need.
