Her name is… Rachel.
When Rachel became the first patient admitted to the Jesus Loves Me Children’s Center’s inpatient ward, she was convulsing from severe malaria, the same disease that took Theresa’s life in 2019 and inspired us to build this center.
But this time, lifesaving care was within reach. Our team acted quickly, stabilizing Rachel within a day, and by the end of the week, she was well enough to go home.
For us, Rachel’s story was more than a first patient or a life saved. It was a beautiful reminder of His radical mercy to stay the course, and a glimpse of the hope that would fill these walls for years to come, the true life-saving difference this center is making.
