WE ARE A MISSION TO HELP THE SICK OF THE PACIFIC ISLANDS by Compassionately Arranging Relief and Equipment
WE HELP CLINICS, HOSPITALS AND INDIVIDUALS RECEIVE EQUIPMENT AND SUPPLIES WHICH TREAT AND PROTECT FROM THE DISEASES AND ILLNESSES OF THE PACIFIC ISLANDS
Pacific C.A.R.E. Missions collects surplus and out-dated (but still good) medical supplies from the many sources in Hawaii, and purchases needed supplies to help those in need. Normally these out-dated meds and/or replaced pieces of equipment are still very usable and many times near new. Usually they are taken to a local dumpster and discarded. We have found that there is a great need for these items in our 3rd world Pacific Island Countries where even a Band-Aid is rare and hard to find.
We gather and store these items in a secure location as we have space. Some of the items include all kinds of meds, wound care materials, exam tables, hospital beds, gurneys, wheelchairs, walkers, crutches, sandals, Crock footware and many more important items of great need. Sadly, many of these usable supplies are now in landfills.
At the present time, we have a small warehouse and a secure lockable container to store and hold these items for future shipping. With the help of the Cruise Lines, air and shipping companies, we are able to make these important items available to needy locations in the Pacific region. We have been serving these Pacific Islands for about 7 years now and the sources are usually free but the trucking, storage and time to organize deliveries is difficult due to lack of funding. Your help with the expenses would enable us to obtain more supplies for the upcoming supply missions to the Line Islands which include Christmas, Fanning and Washington Islands. As of this writing (April 2010), we are commited to a Cruise Supply Mission to Fanning Island during the November 2010 30 day sailing on the Holland America cruiseship MS Rotterdam.
We at PCM, and Mission of Hope Ministries in South Carolina, are also presently involved in doing annual July medical/Evangelism missions to the Samoa Islands.
There are so many young children, teens, adults and pregnant mothers suffering and dying needlessly because of the lack of equipment or medical supplies. These lifesaving supplies could be freely made available by the abundant surplus in Hawaii and your partnership. Please feel free to contact us for more information to help the needs and situations in the Kiribati regions, Samoa and other pacific islands.
We do offer a 501-c3, Federal Tax Deduction receipt for any donated items you might be able to give us and for any financial gifts to help us purchase supplies and cover the expenses involved in this mission-work.
Thank you for visiting our website and having an interest in this life saving mission.
