$25 A Month For 1 Year, Changes A Child's Life Forever

The New Year is upon us, and if you're like the millions of other Americans, you'll make resolutions and set goals for 2015. Alot of those goals center around financial changes, and for some - charitable giving. Anymore, $25 won't fill up your gas tank, and its hardly enough for 2 people to eat out at a restaurant. Its hard to imagine then that just $25 per month in the year 2015, will change the life of a child forever.  How can that be, you ask?

For immobile children in third world countries, not having the ability to get around can destine them to a life wasted away. Being mobile is absolutely key to earning any kind of income, going to school, helping provide for the family, etc. Even using crutches is only a partial solution as street conditions and unstable living quarters can make it difficult.  Giving a child the gift of a hand-cranked cart changes everything! For just $300, your donation can change the life of a child forever!

If you've been looking for a new place for your charitable donation for 2015, please consider PET West Michigan, and help a waiting child find new success with the gift of mobility.  For more information, visit our website at www.petwestmichigan,org - where you can also give online.

15 Child-Sized PETs to Cotonou, Benin

Christmas is a wonderful time of year all over the world. But just as many who celebrate and get excited for what they will find under the tree, hundreds more wish for gifts they will never receive and health that seems impossible to obtain.

15 child-sized PET carts shipped from our facility to join a shipment with our partner MIERS [Mission Internationale d’Evangelism et de Reveil Spirituel], in New York. The director served for many years on a Mercy Ship in Africa, and then settled there after getting married.  These small PETs joined 150 adult size carts to make the long trip across the globe - just in time for Christmas.

Imagine the face of a child who has given the gift of mobility after spending their years crawling on the ground!































































Thank you to all of you who have been generous donors of time, finances and prayer support this last year!  Before the year closes out, you've made Christmas special for 15 waiting kids across the world!
