You have never really lived until you have done something for someone who can never repay you.
Because the mail system in Guatemala is nonexistent, we have found it is easiest to supply tangible needs by sending them with teams that come to serve at Hope of Life. We will keep this list updated regularly so teams can know what supplies are of greatest need. (last updated 10/13/2019)
HOSPITAL NEEDS:
- Vacutainers
- Butterfly needles
- 24g IV kits
- Pediatric nasal cannulas
- Pediatric + infant 02 masks
- Pediatric + infant nebulizer masks
- Littmann infant + pediatric stethoscopes
- Pediatric blood pressure cuffs
- Adult blood pressure cuffs
- Infant pulse oximeters
- Digital thermometers that read in Celcius
- Glucometers + strips
- Plumset IV cassette tubing
KITCHEN NEEDS:
- Large non stick skillets
- Chef knives
- Food processors (large)

PERSONAL NEEDS:
- Instax mini 90 Polaroid film
- Small, inexpensive items to gift to mothers at women’s Bible study (i.e. Nail polish, inexpensive jewelry, large cloth bags)
- Spanish Bibles for children (with lots of pictures, as many of the women I minister to cannot read)
To send items: It is easiest to send with a team (or come visit and bring it yourself!) If you are unable to do that, email me at whitney7788@gmail.com and we can coordinate how to get it here!
