Story
Your support is vital to Grace's mission and to our patients. Because of your help, Grace is providing life-changing health care to the low-income, uninsured in our community.
One example is Shirley's story.
Shirley arrived at Grace homeless, without insurance, and experiencing acute abdominal pain. The physical pain she endured was so severe, "comparable to childbirth or kidney stones," said Shirley, that she felt as if she was on death's door. She was diagnosed with diverticulitis, an infection found in the intestines, and Grace provided the necessary antibiotics to treat the infection. Her health also improved as she drastically changed her diet to eliminate sugar, salt, and rice.
Her mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being were also marred b past years of domestic violence, which drew her away from God. "I was empty...I had no church," Shirley shared. Grace helped her process the past trauma, renew her faith and connection to God, and enabled her to further transform her life.
Empowered by her healthier lifestyle and renewed faith, Shirley and her three sons are living healthier, happier lives. They even welcomed Geraldo, Shirley's husband, to the family.
Shirley is one patient who has benefited from our comprehensive primary care. Just like Shirley, we want our patients to experience the joy of renewed hope. We want them to feel valued, respected, and loved for what makes them unique including their personal experiences and vast needs.
By continuing to give to Grace, you can help ensure that "no one misses the grace of God."
Thank you for your continued support and prayers. Together, we are restoring faith and health to our neighbors who need it most.
