I'll keep this short and get straight to the point-
Circle of Empowerment needs your help!
Our old truck was on its last wheels, so to speak, and as a matter of safety and necessity, we were forced to sell it and buy a new truck.
This isn't the way we normally like to go about our purchases. Typically we like to fundraise the money up front and then purchase what we need, however it was no longer safe to continue to drive our truck, and this needed to be done quickly.

The Truck is a LIFELINE for our work in rural Nicaragua.
It is invaluable and serves many purposes:
- to bring volunteer teachers to curriculum planning meetings
- to bring the brigadistas (nurses) to the Nancy Lund Clinic to see patients
- to treat patients with chronic renal disease in their homes
- to prepare children for going to the US through Shriners and World Pediatric Program and taking them to the airport
- as an ambulance in the area – especially more frequently, to transport patients that need outside care be it radiographs, lab work or to see a specialist
- to provide transport for immunizations in the greater area serving 42,000 people
- to make house call for medical, education and social crisis (domestic violence, hospice services)
- to provide transportation for all of our daily supplies – i.e. food, office supplies, gas we use to cook, and many other community needs.
We paid $14,500 for the truck. We need to raise the whole amount but are hoping to raise part of it through this campaign and the other parts through various grants we have applied for.
Please join us in helping fund this purchase and in Empowering Nicaraguans!
