URGENT NEEDS

The need is so great at this time to help the people on Fanning Island as the NCL ship Pride of Aloha has only three more scheduled sailings to Fanning Island

You can be very helpful to the people of Fanning Island now and in the future (especially during your upcoming cruise to Fanning Island) by being a part of helping to deliver much needed medical supplies to the island during the Jan 12, Feb 23 and Apr 5 sailings. You would also have a rewarding and pleasant cruise by helping the people on Fanning Island during the next (and maybe last) NCL Pride of Aloha sailings to Fanning. It would be so helpful if you could obtain, purchase and donate some supplies that you can take to Fanning Island on your trip as extra luggage or include it in your luggage. Should you just like to help our ministry needs, with a donation for us to obtain and take supplies before sailing, we would be very grateful to do that for you

Our ministry organization has been helping the island for the last 5 years and would also like to help you be a part of taking more much needed and important supplies to Fanning Island. Our biggest reason to get you this information is to help save lives and improve the health conditions on Fanning because people sailing to Fanning have said to me: “After seeing how much they (the people living on Fanning) need our help I want to give and do more to help them” or “I am so glad I heard about the needs on Fanning before going because I was able to help them in some way” and also “how can I help you further with what you are doing to help the people?” I personally have seen and heard of people able to live better and longer lives because of the compassionate help and giving of others like you.

I am scheduled to go on the Feb 23 and April 5 sailings and will be gathering and taking many supplies myself (and with a few other volunteers who will also be sailing) to donate supplies to the 3 local clinics there. This website has been developed for you to access information about our ministry work to Fanning Island. There are some video footage links on the MEDIA CENTER page to help you see our methods of operations and a better view of the island and conditions there. Our website also has a “Wish List” page of items requested and needed by the nurses on the island for you to access on the NEEDS page.

The following pictures show the three present village clinics and the NCL compound clinic, some equipment I am trying to donate on upcoming sailings, and some examples of supplies we hope to purchase again from Costco and other retailers before going down to Fanning.

THREE PRESENT VILLAGE CLINICS & NCL COMPOUND CLINIC

THE CLINICS LACK MOST BASIC MEDICINES & SUPPLIES

RECENTLY DONATED EXAM TABLES & GURNEYS TO HELP THE CLINICS

PREVIOUSLY DONATED SUPPLIES & CARE KITS

There are so many young and pregnant mothers, children, teens and adults suffering and dying needlessly because of the lack of equipment or medical supplies. These needed supplies could be freely made available by the abundant surplus in Hawaii and your partnership.

We do offer a 501-c3, Federal Tax Deduction receipt for any donated items you might be able to give us and for any financial gifts to help us purchase supplies and cover the expenses involved in this mission-work.

Thank you for your interest in this life saving mission, and let’s make the most of our upcoming cruise to Fanning, to help a needy island and beautiful people group.

Please feel free to also contact me about other ways you can be a part of helping the needs of the people on Fanning Island in the future.
