PFC Breaks All Records At The Hope Clinic
| Thanks to supporters like yourself Paramedics for Children has set a new record at Clinica La Esperanza ( The PFC Clinic of Hope) here in Copan Ruinas Honduras. In the month of October, 2006 we treated a record 630 patients. Credit for this goes to both our PFC supporters and our wonderful Honduran doctors like Dr. Hector and Dr. Mariza, both of whom have worked hard to bring first world health to hundreds of Honduras's poor. |
| Through this unique donor supplement program we have been able to keep the doors open and to bring affordable health care to over 25,000 Chorti poor for as little as $16.00 US dollars per day. Or a cost of only $0.79 cents to treat a single patient. This new program has now been in operation for just over a year and a half and already the charity community is a buzz with how simple it is, and how easy it works. |

In a nutshell PFC supports the doctors by allowing them full use our our clinic, equipment, and donated medicines
at no charge while our contributors donate a small hourly supplement for each hour that the clinic is open. In
return the doctors charge the patient a very low fee of only 50 limperias ($2.64) which on average is only 25%
of a normal consultation fee. Even though the fees are super low the doctors can earn enough through patient volume,
due to the large number of poor that come to the clinic. 100% of all fees charged go to the doctors, so there is
no need for accountants or other personnel to increase the costs of operation. Current funding for this project will end soon, so we are looking for those of you who are willing to come on board and support this wonderful program for another year. It's is so simple. In order to keep the doors open 7 days a week for yet another year we need another 20 supporters each donating $25 per month. This will keep the Clinic of Hope open for 8 hours per day 7 days per week. For 60 supporters each donating only $25 per month we can reach our total goal of staying open 24 hours per day. We will be placing a plaque on the wall of the clinic in honor of those of you who are willing to make the commitment to help us make a difference for these poor people. To become an official "PFC clinic super supporter" all it takes is a commitment from you to donate $25.00 per month To become a clinic super supporter just go to our web site and make a credit card donation of only $25.00 and type in the comments box the words "Clinic Of Hope Super Supporter". Soon after that you will receive a confirmation email from me confirming your status and your name will go up on the plaque in both the clinic as well as on our web site. For each donation of $25 per month your name will appear. This will go on until the clinic plaque is full. Think of the good your donation will accomplish! Here is a real hands on project that not only can you contribute to, but you can come down and actually see where an how your donation is being used. Please drop me a line and tell me that the children of Honduras can count on your support for the coming year. As always thanks so very much for your support of Paramedics For Children.
