Update fromthe Sudan Relief Fund



We want to thank everyone who has donated to our donor-match appeal! We're still short of our goal. Please consider donating today.
For years, the people of the Nuba Mountains region have lacked access to adequate medical services amidst thirty years of tragic instability and violence. Fortunately, Mother of Mercy Hospital, the only hospital in the area, has been partnering with the Sudan Relief Fund and our generous supporters to improve the community’s dire situation.
Led by the sole US doctor and missionary named Dr. Tom, medicine and surgeries are now changing the lives of those seeking help. However, there simply isn’t enough medicine or proper medical equipment to serve all the needs in the area with a population of over half a million.

Upon discovering this urgent need, another US doctor named Dr. C. Louis Perrinjaquet, nicknamed “Dr. PJ,” decided he had to help. He began traveling to the Nuba Mountains in the summers to help Dr. Tom perform essential surgical procedures for hospital patients.

Moved by the great work of Dr. Tom and his staff and the urgent need of the community, Dr. PJ has decided to generously pledge a match donation to the Sudan Relief Fund up to $25,000 for medicine and medical equipment. The incredible support from Dr. PJ means that, for each dollar you give to support the Sudan Relief Fund, it is doubled!
“Just imagine, by the time you walk out of a coffee shop with your cup of coffee, you’ve spent enough money to treat ten people for malaria,” says Dr. PJ.

Because of Dr. PJ’s generous matching gift, your $50 donation will fund $100 of crucial medical supplies. Your $500 gift will become a $1,000 gift that can help purchase essential medical equipment.

Dr. PJ continues to admire Dr. Tom’s amazing work and sacrifice seeing that he always goes above and beyond what a normal doctor would do for his patients. During Dr. PJ’s last visit to the hospital, he assisted Dr. Tom with several surgeries including ones to treat children suffering from this very condition.

Dr. PJ and Dr. Tom are doing everything possible to deliver life-saving medical aid, but we cannot build a brighter future for the people of Sudan without your help. Please consider donating to the Sudan Relief Fund today so that we can provide a better tomorrow for the hundreds of thousands of Sudanese people in need of medical care.

P.S. For a limited time, Dr. PJ will be matching your donations up to $25,000. That means your donation will be doubled. A donation for $25 will become $50. Your donation of $100 will become $200. A donation of $500 will become $1,000. Please take advantage of this wonderful opportunity. We are so grateful to Dr. PJ for his amazing work volunteering at the hospital and for his generosity!
