MultiCare Global Outreach Program Donation Page
This program operates entirely through the generosity of donations. Your support enables us to empower our community partners in Peru and provide critical funding for patient medications and medical equipment used during our biannual rural family medicine events and for medical translators for our annual virtual medical lecture series. When we are not in-country we show our support by sending donations to the community leaders, the nuns of Buen Socorro, to address the highest needs of the community. Please join us and donate today.
Peru Community Donations
This Winter 2024, we are raising funds to bring joy, nourishment, and essential care to children in need through two vital initiatives:
đź’– SILOE: Free Daycare Center in La Esperanzađź’–
Run by the compassionate nuns of Bon Socorro, the Siloe daycare provides a lifeline for children facing severe hardships in La Esperanza. Most children have single working mothers or have lost both parents and are in the care of distant relatives. Without this daycare center, these children are lock in their homes or on the street without food.
How Your Donation Helps:
$320 provides two nutritious meals per day for 50 children during the work week for an entire month (20 days)!
Your gift directly combats child hunger and ensures these little ones can focus on learning and thriving in a safe environment.
đź’– LOS RANCHOS: Supporting 20 Villages in Piura, Peruđź’–
The nuns of Bon Socorro extend their care to the remote pastoral mission of Los Ranchos, home to 20 villages where families and children endure extreme poverty and malnutrition.
Their requests this Christmas:
For Girls:
26 Dolls: $5 each

20 Shorts: $5 each
For Boys:
24 Toy Cars: $5 each
20 Shirts: $5 each
20 Shorts: $5 each
