How We Meet Medical Needs

Children living in poverty are especially vulnerable to disease and sickness. And because of the pandemic, health screenings, dental care and routine childhood vaccinations have been impossible. Resuming these areas of care is currently a critical need.

Giving through Compassion’s medical assistance fund will allow a child in poverty access to medical care. Your medical donation can literally save a child’s life.

Compassion’s medical assistance fund, together with our holistic child development program, allows children to escape the crippling effects of poverty. When you make a medical donation through this fund, you can be assured that your money will directly help children who need it. Give today and change a life forever.

Every Day, We Help Children like Steven

Eleven-year-old Steven from Ecuador was brutally attacked by teenage boys near his home. He was captured, bound, covered in gasoline and set on fire. He ran to a nearby river and was able to put out the fire. But none of the hospitals in Ecuador were equipped to deal with the severity of his burns, which covered more than 65% of his body. Within days, Steven was brought to a hospital in the United States where a burn unit provided him with the care he needed.

Because of generous donors like you, over $500,000 was raised to help pay medical bills for him and other children facing difficult medical situations. It is estimated that he will need at least seven years of care, including counseling and physical therapy.

Overall, he is doing so much better, and his family is praising God for his recovery! They have been so encouraged by the prayers and support they've received.

Every Day, Donors Like You Help Children like Steven

Eleven-year-old Steven was brutally attacked by teenage boys near his home. He was captured, bound, covered in gasoline and set on fire. He ran to a nearby river and was able to put out the fire.

Because of generous supports like you, the local Compassion center was able to send Steven to a hospital in the United States where a burn unit is providing him with the care he needs.
