<span style="color: white; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: large;">There’s a well known school of thought that has and continues to prevail among us till date. It says that “you do not have to share wealth to be charitable.. share your time and experience”. We at OH couldn’t agree more. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Because, at every hour of need, each one of you have come forth with your wealth, in the form of time, experience and generosity collectively put together to strengthen us towards each of our mission for the domestics in distress. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: large;">3 months ago,<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Jovi’s (paralyzed Filipino maid) case was one such mission.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And you helped us pull through it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Today, Jovi after having been repatriated home continues to receive the medical attention and family care she much needed. Because of the overwhelming support we received in donations, we will be able to provide Jovi financial support (KD 250, monthly) for the next 6 months to cover her medical and other incidental expenses. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: large;">Thank you everyone, for sharing the wealth of your time, experience and generosity. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: large;">Please watch this space for updates on her through these months. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: white;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span class="userContent" data-ft="{"tn":"K"}">Dear Friends of Operation HOPE Kuwait,</span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: white;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span class="userContent" data-ft="{"tn":"K"}"><br />
What a week we've had here at the premises of OH Kuwait! The phone
didn't stop ringing, messages arrived throughout every day and long into
every night, while our door bell rang and rang and rang. All of this
activity due to the incredible outpouring of support which arrived soon
after our APPEAL for support went out last week. So here's the latest
(and gr<span class="text_exposed_show">eatest) news:<br /> <br /> The 5 AC
units, which were desperately needed at the Embassy Shelter, were
immediately purchased by a very generous Kuwaiti patron, and installed
the very next day! And now, the more than one-hundred shelter wards
staying at that shelter are finally being kept cooler in this summer's
stifling heat! <br /> <br /> Syed's wheelchair was also purchased ~ by the
same Kuwaiti patron! He has been measured for his custom-made
wheelchair and it is expected to be ready for his use within 45 - 60
days. <br /> <br /> On an aside, the salesman at Al Eassa Medical Supply
mentioned that there is another child in need of a wheelchair.
Saleisha, a 3 year old Philippino boy who has had numerous open heart
surgeries amongst other health-related challenges, has now also been
gifted with an expensive custom-designed wheelchair through the generous
sponsorship by a second Kuwaiti patron, and his wheelchair will be
delivered in the same time frame as Syed's!! <br /> <br /> And finally,
Jovi ~ the Philippina who was left paralyzed through a traffic accident,
will be returning to her native homeland immediately following the Eid
holiday. Through the generosity of this amazing community Jovi's needs
will be met for years to come. The overwhelming response to her plight
has brought donations in excess of anything we could have expected. She
has also been gifted with a wheelchair, a suitcase full of new
clothing, a beautiful leather handbag with matching wallet and
travelling funds. Her three daughters and one adopted son will be flown
from their province of Mindenao to Manilla to receive the mother whom
they haven't seen in more than 10 years. Accomodations for Jovi's
daughters are being covered by another Kuwaiti family who are led to
support this family's needs for now. <br /> <br /> Kuwaiti sisters, Mariam
and Nooriyah have blessed Jovi. They have spent much of their time in
Jovi's room, taking in freshly made Philippino foods and desserts; and
they have even Skyped with Jovi's daughters from Jovi's hospital room so
that mother and daughters could begin their reunion! They sing songs
to and with Jovi, and they bring a cheerful spirit each and every time
they see her. And these amazing sisters have collected an incredible
sum of support for Jovi and her family. They are the wisdom behind
posting Jovi's case on Instagram, Twitter and What'sapp, and they are a
blessing to my life and to the mission of Operation HOPE Kuwait. <br /> <br />
We can all agree that God works in amazing ways and to prove His
provision I wish to conclude this update with the narration of a recent
conversation...<br /> <br /> Chita and I had gone to visit Jovi a 2nd time
and stayed with her about an hour. As we were preparing to leave her
hospital room I bent over Jovi's bed and whispered into her ear, "Jovi
dearest, soon you are going home to be with your family. Do you believe
me?" With tears pouring down her face she answered, "I prayed and
prayed that God would send someone to help me, and He sent you. Yes, I
believe you. I am finally going home." When Jovi prayed for God to
send someone to help her He also sent you! We serve a mighty God who
hears the crys of His children all around the world. This is one truth
we can depend on no matter what. So on that note I wish to thank each
and every one of you for the support which has brought blessings to
these needy brothers and sisters of ours. Your love, compassion and
willingness to serve others has brought joy in volumes too great to
articulate. You are appreciated. <br /> <br /> Gratefully,<br /> Sheryll Mairza<br /> Founder</span></span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><span style="color: white;">Operation HOPE was recently blessed by a very young volunteer - little Tanvi Shetty only 9 years old. Tanvi visited Operation HOPE with her dad 2 weeks ago to drop off some donations. Touched by our mission, last Saturday she asked her dad to drop her off at Esther's Attic so she could volunteer with us while her dad was running some errands.<br /><br />What a wonderful and productive way indeed to spend a Saturday morning! And when leaving for the day, she has offered to bring her friends along next week. Tanvi, we applaud you for your kind and caring heart! <br /><br />As an African proverb goes, "<span style="font-size: 11pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-fareast; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">If you think you are too small to make a difference, you haven’t spent a night with a mosquito".</span></span></span></div>

<span style="color: white; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">The amalgamated efforts of an energetic group coupled with the drive to serve Kuwait’s neediest, resulted in the collection of 75 Packs of toiletry hampers by Ms Lauren and her group of volunteers from the American School of Kuwait. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Donations were dropped off at HOPE house earlier this week as we continue to work towards our current toiletries initiative for an <span style="font-size: 12pt;">embassy</span> Shelter. We deeply appreciate you guys! </span></div>

<span style="color: white; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">2 weeks ago a young visitor by the name of Esther visited Esther’s Attic. She came in with a little mission. A mission that involved parting ways with her precious teddy bear with the objective of providing it a home. </span></div>
