Help a Child Like Heymi Beat the Odds

Just before her 15th birthday, Heymi was in a near-fatal accident on the way to her home in Nicaragua. Her family couldn’t afford to pay for medical transportation, care or recovery needs. 
 
With help from supporters like you, Compassion stepped in to provide Heymi with life-saving medical care.

“ I learned about the Lord’s faithfulness, because thanks to him, I am alive today ... I can count on him and the Compassion center’s help. They helped me and my family when we needed it most.”
