Surgery for Acid Survivor Pastor Umar Mulinde
Donation protected
Greeting in the Name of the Lord!
As many of you remember, our beloved Pastor Umar Mulinde faced a horrific attack by Ugandan Muslim extremists who poured acid on his face on Christmas Eve of 2011. The acid had devastating effects, eating away his face, nose, and ear on his right side as well as eating away his skin on his chest and hand.
On the fateful night of this attack, Pastor Mulinde was rushed to a Ugandan hospital. Being in a critical state they sent him to India and finally to Israel. Thanking YHWH for this divine intervention, once in Israel Pastor received several lifesaving surgeries in the burn unit of this Israeli hospital.
Recently, Pastor Mulinde has begun having trouble with breathing and hearing. Through a recent medical review in the United States, Doctors have determined that the issues that need immediate attention are as follows:
- A stent in the right nostril that is making his breathing very labored.
- Build-up on scar tissue in his right ear that is almost completely blocking the ear meatus.
- Pastor Umar is not able to get assistance from medical insurance because the insurers deem this as a precondition that cannot be covered.
Thankfully, US Doctors and the hospital have generously offered a discount on all medical expenses.
Here is what this surgery entails:
- Repair, Wound(s), (Intermediate)
- Excision, Skin Lesion
- Repair, Wound(s), Complex (procedure 1)
- Repair, Wound(s), Complex (procedure 2)
- Skin Graft/Replacement (4 in total)
- Tissue Rearrangement/Transfer (procedure 1)
- Tissue Rearrangement/Transfer (procedure 2)
- Anesthesia, Skin Surg. Head/Neck
- Lab/Pathology -Professional (3)
Please prayerfully consider donating a love gift to assist Pastor Umar cover these medical expenses. Any amount will help, and we are trusting the Lord with a fish and loaves miracle to reach our goal of $85,000. Together we can do it!
God Bless You!
