Recently one of the translators who works on the ship came and told us his three year old daughter was critically ill with malaria and needed a blood transfusion. She was at a local clinic, unresponsive. The translators daughter, Abigail, needed O positive blood. I was able to donate so at
3:00 a.m. the translator left with blood to bring to his daughter at the clinic.
We found out the next day Abigail was drinking and playing. The translator said three hours after receiving the blood she started to wake up and respond.

Hi Hettie,
It is so good to see your smiling face and generous heart. We had our time enjoying that while at Riverside together!
