The healthcare needs in the Delta are staggering. It's easy to feel overwhelmed and hard to know how to help. But when we met a young girl who had been severely burned in a fire a year ago and had never received any medical care, we knew we had to start somewhere. We raised enough money among our group to bring Esther and her mother to Warri, the closest city, for a medical consultation. Sweet Crude volunteer Kendra Thornbury took the lead on seeing this commitment through. Read her story.

The group hopes to continue this kind of direct healthcare assistance on an ongoing basis. We hope you'll help.
