I'm not exactly sure how this happened but today I found myself in the store room of a surgery clinic practically burried in donated medical supplies. It seems that the mother of a good friend of mine has been "chatting" with her coworkers at the surgery clinic. Before we knew it a nurse named "Mary" was directing me to drive my car down to the loading dock. We crammed it with as many boxes of gloves, IV needles, sutures, sterile drapes, and medical tape as we could. Mary kept asking me if I would take more! "There's still another warehouse," she says.
Being an ICU nurse and not a surgical nurse there were things in that warehouse that I can't even identify so I told her I would inventory the current load and then get back to her. It seems that I am once again sharing my office with a growing mountain of random medical supplies. Only this time I'm not exactly sure how I'm going to ship it. I guess this is God's way of telling me that I gotta stop dinkin' around get working on the further development of Shiloah Health Outreach.

Whoohoo! We definately need to come up with a fundraising idea to get money for shipping and also for rental of a storage locker or something.
How much does it cost for shipping??
According to the guys at Care Container, it costs about $13,000 total (including taxes and what not) to ship a container to Burundi. Ouch!! But when it's medical equipment with a net worth in the 100k range that could potentially save a life... There must be a way!
