Rachel's friend Hannah needs rare surgery
Donation protected
Hi, my name is Rachel and I'm fundraising for my friend and church member Hannah* to pay for a rare spinal surgery to end her crippling pain and restore her as mom to her two beautiful daughters. An experienced surgeon in Dallas has committed to perform the surgery at a discount, but we need to urgently raise $54,200 to cover the medical cost, flights, and visa fees to make this miracle happen.
Persecuted Christians courageously serving others
Hannah and John* are Christians who fled persecution in their home country and live as refugees here in Nepal. Though life is not easy, they live full of faith and thanksgiving, always praying for others in need. We love fellowshipping with them at our church and weekly Bible study!
Crippling pain requiring a rare surgery
Hannah has been battling a growth on her spine for the past 3 years, but in recent months it has left her bed-ridden and in constant pain. It is causing other serious health complications, and the only solution is a rare surgery not possible in Nepal. The good news: They found an experienced surgeon in Dallas willing to perform at a discount--and the prognosis is excellent. If Hannah can get this surgery soon, she is expected to make a full recovery--and be able to see her daughters grow up.
How you can partner with Hannah and me
We are believing in faith that God will supply Hannah and John's financial needs for this life-giving surgery. Friends in Dallas have already committed to open their homes and host Hannah and John while she recuperates. Now we need friends, churches, and colleagues from around the US to rally with us. Here's how you can help:
- Donations of any amount will help! All donations will be managed by me and paid directly to the hospital and/or flight costs, visa costs.
- Give offline: If you prefer, you can send a check to "Rachel Wolff" with note "For Hannah's surgery" to 12134 Bataan St. NE, Blaine, MN 55449
- Share Hannah's story with your church and circle of friends, so they can consider giving.
- Sign up for updates from this GoFundMe effort.
- Pray for Hannah and John and their two little girls.
- If you're in Dallas, let your church know about the need!
Thank you so much for being an answer to prayer for my dear friends Hannah and John. Your support from across the miles means a great deal to me! I look forward to sharing updates in the coming days.
God bless you,
*We're not sharing Hannah and John's real names for their safety should they ever be forced to return to their home country.
