On Saturday, we drove to the greenhouses about 15 minutes north of us to pick up workers and their family members who needed medical care. The workers there are increasingly struggling to keep food on the table, with their hours being cut down to one day per week. Some families in the migrant camp are without power and running water, so their situation is dire.
We ended up with a van load of patients young and old and drove them back to our clinic in La Mision. Sarah and our visiting consulting physician, Dr. Jonathan Lim, saw patients with the help of the entire Siloé support staff. It was fun to play with the children and provide free care, advice and prayer to these needy families. We’ve been serving their community for three years, so we’ve made relationships with many of them. We are getting really excited to see them again in a few weeks when we throw our annual Christmas party at the greenhouses!
A special thanks to Dr. Lim for spending four days seeing patients and consulting with Sarah. He is a blessing to us, and we are so grateful for his involvement and help!
