Last week, our handheld ultrasound machine—which we use every single day—broke. After troubleshooting with the company, they confirmed that the probe experienced an irreparable error. It's no longer under warranty and cannot be repaired.

We’ve had this machine for six years, and it’s truly been an invaluable tool in our work caring for mothers and babies here in rural Guatemala. We use it in the clinic, in remote villages, in the mountains, and on house visits. Without it, our ability to provide safe, quality prenatal care is significantly impacted.

Here’s what we use it for:

• Monitoring baby growth

• Checking fetal and placental position

• Measuring amniotic fluid levels

• Providing reassurance to anxious moms

• Guiding urgent care decisions

The cost of a replacement is $6,000, and we’re currently praying for individuals or churches who might feel led to help us meet this need.

If you would consider partnering with us on this, we'd be so grateful.

Thanks so much for considering it, and for always encouraging and supporting us in this ministry.
