We were so thrilled to hear late last night that Jackline has been discharged from the hospital in Jinja! This sweet thing, on the right, has that beautiful smile back on her face after having surgery on her tonsils last week. Jackline is sponsored by Jerry and Amy Mayo who, with the help of their friends, provided the funds necessary to get Jackline the help she needed. She had suffered from swollen tonsils and throat issues for some time. It was brought to our attention during our visit in February. Jerry returned home and went to work, telling her story. Not surprisingly, he found other people wanted to help. Today, Jackline is back at home with her mother and getting ready to go back to school. Many thanks to those who helped make this a story of compassion and healing!

I am so pleased by this outcome! The speed at which Hearts and Hope worked to coordinate the surgery was amazing. Huge thank you to the staff for making this happen so quickly. I look forward to the next trip to see Jackline's smile in person! the Mayo's
