Our teams serving on the Colombia-Venezuela border are meeting the physical and spiritual needs of women as they prepare for the blessing of motherhood.<\/h2>\r\n <\/header>\r\n\r\n

Catalina* often didn\u2019t know when she would eat her next meal. She struggled to find work and could not afford necessities, such as food and medicine.<\/p>\r\n \r\n

Life has never been easy for Catalina, as childhood cancer left her blind in one eye. Yet, the economic crisis in Venezuela made everything much worse. Rising prices, a severe lack of jobs, and a collapsed healthcare system left millions of people, including Catalina, in desperate need.<\/p>\r\n \r\n

The medical care and spiritual encouragement Catalina received at our maternal clinic helped her prepare for the gift of motherhood.<\/figcaption>\r\n <\/figure>\r\n \r\n

Catalina is among the weary Venezuelans who made the dangerous trek across the border into Colombia, searching for financial stability and a brighter future. Although she was hopeful for a fresh start, her optimism began to fade when she struggled to earn an income selling her baked goods.<\/p>\r\n \r\n

Her situation declined even more when she started feeling sick and didn\u2019t know where to turn for help.<\/p>\r\n \r\n

Catalina was relieved when someone told her that Samaritan\u2019s Purse had set up a mobile medical clinic not far from where she was living. Our staff warmly welcomed Catalina and let her know they were there to care for her in Jesus\u2019 Name.<\/p>\r\n \r\n

Based on her physical symptoms, our staff suggested that she take a pregnancy test. Catalina was stunned—the result was positive.<\/p>\r\n …<\/span>\r\n \r\n
