While we were in Ethiopia we quickly became friends with the people who helped run the Baptist guest house we stayed at. The lady was so nice and worked very hard but there were days when she could not do anything due to sickness. Her stomach would swell up and it would look like she was several months pregnant. She would have SEVERE pain and then within a couple of days she would be back to her tiny size and feel fine. I have been writing back and forth with them since we have returend to the states. They had been doing well, but this is the last email I received:
Hello dear Chelsea and David
Would you keep praying for us? Really my wife’s situation is getting worse and worse, we could not do anything without praying. If you know any charity organization or church which are willing and can be sponsor for my wife to get medical treatment outside Ethiopia that will be good, because the doctors here told us that she has to go abroad for further diagnosis and treatment.
Thank you
One of my sweet friends also gave me the link to this blog it talks about this amazing couple and the experience they had with them.
These are really great people and she is in desperate need of some help. If there is a way you can help please let me know. I am working on organizing some efforts to raise money for a plane ticket and medical attn. for her. Any and all donations will go to helping her. Please pass this along to anyone you know who might be able to help. Also if there are other ideas on how to help please let me know.

Does she know what it is? It sounds like liver failure. Unfortunately I don't know of any organizations, but I'll ask around and I'll pray.
Oh wow! I can't believe it's started all over again! Will you email me the guesthouse address? I think the one I have is wrong. We'll be praying for some answers and donations.
