Elsie’s Journal

Follow along with Elsie as she shares about her journey to CURE Children’s Hospital of Uganda.

“Do you want to go to Uganda?”

“Well, yes, of course!”

When my boss asked me if I wanted to represent the radio station on a trip to Africa, the answer was an automatic yes! I knew it would be an incredible trip — the chance of a lifetime! I didn’t know it would change my life forever.

I’ve been in vocation ministry since I was 21 years old (so 22 years). I’ve seen and participated in many remarkable ministries over the years. However, I can say without reservation that CURE International is the most impactful, fruitful ministry I’ve ever experienced.

While in Uganda, our team had the opportunity to see CURE’s work up close and personal. We witnessed the in-take process, pre-surgery care, actual real-life brain surgery, recovery in the ICU, and the work of spiritual transformation through the pastoral team. I personally watched mothers with their children come to CURE with utter desperation in their eyes. They live in a culture where those with disabilities are marginalized and access to quality health care is limited, and I watched the fear give way to hope as they walked through CURE’s doors.

CURE provides healing physically, emotionally, spiritually, and communally.

As a mother of a child who lives with disabilities, I experienced CURE in a very personal way. While advocating for my own son who has various physical and cognitive difference can be a challenge, I was overwhelmed by how “easy” we have it in the United States. My son has access to a world of resources simply because of the longitude and latitude in which he was born. The children we met had no hope — until CURE stepped in to help.

Having experienced CURE’s beautiful work firsthand, I have committed to an on-going, long-term partnership with them. I know that when you give to a ministry, you want to know your gift has an impact in the kingdom of God. The return on investment with CURE is seen through the thousands of children healed, the reconciliation to community, and the countless souls who will now go to heaven. Would you join me in partnering with CURE?
