HELP OUR BATHROOMS GET OUT OF THE TOILET
Help!, I have fallen (into bad disrepair) and can't get up without your help!
Below I am going to show you a picture story of the bathrooms at the Chimala Hospital. When I arrived one year ago, I found many areas which were in need of improvements but sadly could only do one thing at a time. I am now looking to fix the horrible disrepair of these bathrooms, but without financial assistance from you I sadly will not be able to fix this short-coming.
As you look at this pictorial, please remember that you (one person) does not have to pay for it all. If each of you would send what you can then with God's help we will reach the amount needed to bring these bathrooms into a good state of repair. We need $6,000 to complete this project. As you look at the pictures, let me explain that it is hard to clean concrete walls. When we recieve help from our friends to repair the bathrooms, we are going to tile the walls in order to keep them cleaner. Also as you look at the pictures, please note that much of the plumbing is broken. Many showers do not work and do not have valves.
AND I wish I could have made these pics "scratch n sniffs", but luckily for you I could not. The smells have seeped into the walls and wood doors over time and are trapped. We are also looking to improve ventilation. Look closely and I bet by the time you get to the 3rd or 4th picture you will be sending us a check.
These are pictures of the female ward bathrooms (pics 1-9) Ladies would you want to use these bathrooms when you were healthy and well? How about when you are sick? OR Do you think these might add to your illness?
The next pictures are of the OB ward. The ladies using these bathrooms have just given birth to newborn babies.
Why have these not been repaired and re-done before this you might be asking. A couple of reasons. First, the mission hospital treats patients at a lower cost than other facilities in order to bring healthcare to those who have limited resources; therefore providing a lower amount of profit for improvements. Second, until I arrived in January, 2013, there was no missionary here specifically looking over the hospital for many years.
Below is the bathroom for the children's ward. They only have one bathroom and one shower.
I saved the best for last. This is the men's bathroom. They have 3 shower's, none of which are working and 3 toilet areas.
We will begin one area at a time. The first thing which we will have to do it to power wash all the walls, floors and doors with bleach water and soap. Then the walls will have to have concrete repair work done. Once that has been accomplished we can begin removing old plumbing, tiling the walls and re-installing the plumbing. Then we can have new doors (which I hope to be metal) and new paint.
PLEASE HELP WITH THIS PROJECT. Our projected start date is May 1st if the Lord opens your hearts and pocket books to help us. Please send your tax-free dollars to Chimala Mission, 5371 New York Avenue, Arlington, TX 76018. Put a small note stating that your donation is for the BR project.
This can be a project for a bible class, school class, other organizations and individuals. I will keep you updated on the amount we have received and the progress we make as we get started. I cannot express what this would mean to the patients we treat here in Chimala.
