She and her grandmother will be staying with us while she prepares for lifesaving surgery.

We recently told you about the hunger crisis in Tajikistan and how Aziza was at great risk for dying from malnutrition. She was at especially high risk due to a birth defect with her colon.

She needs to have a surgery not available in Tajikistan to repair the defect and save her life.

We are so grateful that the Lord answered our prayers for Aziza. He brought her to us sooner than we had hoped and she is on the fast track toward surgery and full recovery.

Please join us in continuing to pray for Aziza’s health and adaptation to a new environment.

During the harshness of winter, many children in Tajikistan are still at high risk of starvation and malnutrition. But you can help. Spread the word and encourage others to give and pray.

In a recent conversation with us, USAID again stressed how severe this winter will be in Tajikistan. Experts are predicting an unusually cold winter for the country, and the people are already suffering from a critical food shortage. Your support for Tajikistan is needed more now than ever.

The Gulf Coast is bracing itself for Hurricane Ike just weeks after Hurricane Gustav destroyed homes and business in Louisiana. ISOH/IMPACT has responded to the need from Gustav and is working around the clock to prepare for the aftermath of Hurricane Ike.

Ike is already a Category 2 storm, and is expected to strengthen before it makes landfall this evening near Galveston. The storm surge alone is expected to cause flooding and extensive damage. Strong wind and rain will cause further destruction inland.

We cannot wait until the storm has passed to ready ourselves for response. In the wake of a hurricane, every minute counts. Families along the Gulf coast will need food, medical aid, and cleaning supplies.

ISOH/IMPACT is collecting gifts of cash and relief supplies to respond to the need.

Items needed at this time are:

  • Canned Food and Non-Perishable Food Items
  • Baby Items and Diapers
  • Travel-size toiletry items
  • Paper Towels & Toilet Paper
  • Buckets, Brooms, Mops/Mop Heads
  • Laundry Detergent
  • Five-gallon buckets with lids
  • Sponges/Scrubbing Pads
  • Disinfectant Cleaners
  • Tarps, Ropes & Large Trash Bags
  • Flashlights & Batteries

Please, no glass items or clothing

Donations can be dropped off anytime at the ISOH/IMPACT warehouse located at 905 Farnsworth Rd. in Waterville, OH or at any Toledo area Tireman Auto Service Center location, including Bowling Green and Fremont, beginning on Tuesday, September 2 during normal business hours Farnsworth Road, Waterville, Ohio.

Cash donations are vital to providing for packaging, transportation, and distribution costs as
well as facilitating emergency response teams. Cash and credit card donations can be made at
the warehouse during normal hours of operation (M-TH 8:00 a.m.-3:00 p.m., F 8:00 a.m.-noon),
through the ISOH/IMPACT website (www.isohimpact.org) or sent directly to the ISOH/IMPACT
offices at 25182 W. River Rd., Perrysburg, OH 43551. Credit card donations can also be made
by calling our offices at (419) 878-8548.

You can also help by spreading the word. Share this Disaster Response Handout with friends and
family and encourage them to get involved.
