What: Anne Stavrica is raising $3855.00 by December 1st, 2019 to return to San Jose, Costa Rica to provide nursing & rehabilitative care to AIDS & HIV patients & to be the hands and feet of Jesus to our patients for the Christmas season.

We have been asked by the AIDS facility we partner with to come back to inland Costa Rica this Christmas, helping fill in where there is a need & communicating the value of life in a country where HIV & AIDS patients are still heavily stigmatized and discriminated against. By God's grace, we will tangibly communicate God's love by providing quality, compassionate care as we serve where there is a need.
