Love in Action Soup Kitchen

The Love in Action Soup Kitchen is a blessing to those in need. Since February, lunch boxes have been provided for the poor and destitute. Sister John shares what they have achieved and how the volunteers of the kitchen play a huge part in the success of this program. “We are trying to spread a culture in which volunteers serve and respect the poor, not themselves. Spiritual education will also be provided for volunteers.”
The Love In Action Food Kitchen served a total of 10,690 meals in 2022. This was on Wednesdays and Fridays. (This limit of two days was due to COVID-19 restrictions and budget issues). In 2023, from January to March, there were 3,300 meals served on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. There had been some issues in distributing the food, but Sister John was able to secure many volunteers which adds to the success of the program. Many people are grateful for these meals as they might be the only source of food they see all week.

Raje's Stem Cell Implant Surgery

Raje who is 12 years old and lives in Jamaica has been diagnosed with Hodgkin’s lymphoma. Raje is in desperate need to receive a stem cell transplant (SCT). It has been determined that Raje is a good candidate to undergo autologous stem cell transplant where the patient’s own stem cells are used the fight the cancer. Raje has been receiving a high dose chemo to prepare his body to receive his own stem cells back to him. Raje will be receiving his treatment at the University of Miami Sylvester Cancer Center. The cost of the treatment is very expensive, and we will also be assisting Raje and his mother Vanessa, with travel costs, food and lodging. Please help us give Raje a fighting chance to combat and cure his cancer.
 
UPDATE: Raje and his mother will be going to Bangalore, India to receive RAJE’S stem cell surgery at the end of May. He will receive his treatment at Mazumdar Shaw Medical Center which is part of the Narayana Health System. Mazumdar Shaw Cancer Center (MSCC) is one of Asia’s largest and most advanced cancer centers. It houses state-of-the-art technology which includes BMT and advanced therapeutics units.

Please keep Raje in your prayers and he enters this life saving journey. RAJE and his mother still need your continued generosity to support their expenses for the next six month. Please give generously.
