When most of us think of Polio, we think of it as a tragic disease that has been eradicated. But Polio hasn't been eradicated, not completely anyway. At this very moment, a Polio outbreak is threatening the lives and well being of hundreds of Tajik children--children like 12-year-old Ismoil.
Two months ago, Ismoil was a healthy, active boy. He returned home one evening from playing soccer with buddies from his neighborhood. He was running a high fever and had a bad headache.
Ismoil's parents sought medical care for their boy, but lab tests did not show anything unusual. Convinced that he had picked up a summer virus, the hospital sent Ismoil home.
A few days later, Ismoil woke up and suddenly realized that he could not pick up or move his legs. He was diagnosed with polio.
ISOH/IMPACT is Reaching Out & Serving the polio victims in Tajikistan. We are offering special medical aid to Ismoil and children like him. But we need your help.
Keith, Samantha and their three children lost everything when an early morning tornado swept through their neighborhood June 5, 2010. As the family was confronted with helplessness and felt their hope beginning to dwindle, ISOH/IMPACT stepped in with assistance to meet their immediate needs. But we knew that we could not leave the family without a home. Through the generous assistance of an anonymous donor, ISOH/IMPACT is pleased to be able to provide The Hudson Family with a fresh start. We closed on a new home for the Hudsons Wednesday, July 21.
The last few weeks have no doubt been difficult for the Hudson family, who lost their home when a tornado ripped across northwest Ohio a few weeks ago.
