Imprisoned for Being Sick

I recently wrote about some friends of friends who helped us pay a hospital bill for a single mom and her baby. Rose is now free and better able to care for her other children.

Unfortunately hers was not an isolated case. We know so many people, many women who have given birth, now trapped in the hospital because they cannot pay the bill. Literally they are in prison for being sick or having given birth. The hospital has gone so far as to install security cameras to ensure they cannot sneak out.

I would like to help as many of these folks as we can. Especially the people that Ben is ministering to. The folks we know personally. We need to get them out of the hospital before they catch something else while there.

In the past couple of weeks we have managed to secure the release of 2 women. Hopefully we can at least double that number before the end of this week.
