O2 for children at Mulago Hospital

Donation protected
Mulago Regional Hospital "Pediatric Acute Care Unit" is the portal for the severely ill children in Kampala, Uganda.  The "Acute Care Unit (ACU)" houses both an emergency department and a 6 bed pediatric intensive care unit.  The unit sees over 100 infants and children each day under limited resources.  The staff and physicians work tiredessly to treat these infants and children.
THEY NEED OUR HELP.
The resuscitation room (place where the sickest of children are cared for) does NOT have  an oxygen portal to supply 24/7 oxygen to these children. Instead,  4 oxygen tanks stand in the resuscitation room. As you can image "the tanks run out" and it is NOT a simple task to get them replaced.  I personally have been volunteering at Mulago Hospital ACU for the past 4 years.  For the past 3 years, I have been working closely with an organization called "Healthy Hearts Uganda".  They have just gotten word from the hospital that they can go forward with securing the necessary workman to establish a permanent oxygen line to the resuscitation room.  The funds need to be raised from p donors.  This led me to all of you.  Please help me make this happen.  Oxygen (O2) can mean the difference between life and death. Please help me bring LIFE to the children of UGANDA.
