Seynabou's Thursday

Thank you for the generosity of Faith Vaught. Like Greg, she knows a lot more about this than me from winning against cancer. I also want to thank those who previously donated: Amanda Vaught, David Vaught, Tom Vaught and Kris, Elia, and Seb!!!!! This makes me happy in my heart. Ngone really appreciates your support.

Today Ngone's brother Abdou went with Seynabou and her son and daughter to the Hospital Fann. The doctor said she needs to come back tomorrow to get a type of x-ray. The doctor said she has a tumor and needs to get surgery.

Seynabou is very tired. She said thank you for your help and she is praying for everyone who sent the money for her. She said something like "These people don't know me and are doing these great things for me. If they knew me what would they be capable of? They must be very nice people. Ngone and Chris are very lucky to have them."

If it were me I think I would be taking hostages and/or dead by now. This is another example to me of the patience and dignity of the African people.

The money you sent along with the money collected amongst her family will cover the tests tomorrow.

Thanks for the link back. This is definitely another lesson in patience from Africa. We understand exactly the challenges you're dealing with in trying to help your family abroad. It's amazing all the powerful tools we have now to connect people and spread the word that didn't exist when we were volunteers. Keep the faith.
