A Letter for You to Answer Dear Friend: Deeply moved in my soul and completely despairing of life, I have gotten out of bed to write to you. I am a young girl who for eight years has been going from one sanitarium to another because of the dread disease of tuberculosis, but to no avail. I burn daily with a high fever simply because I lack money for the necessary drugs. I have no one in this world to help me. My father is a drunkard, my mother died from tuberculosis and even my sister is tubercular. She has been put out of one sani tarium because they cannot keep her after three years. We are try ing to get her admitted here, at the sanitarium of Lamia, but she does not even have the fare to come, let alone money to pay for medicine. My three little brothers at home go about in the streets begging for bread. Some people help them; some chase them. Poor little fel lows, they often come home crying and go to bed hungry. They are ragged and barefoot because no one cares for them. My father is a slave of drink and does nothing for his motherless children. In spite of the seeming hopeless ness of our situation, I am looking to Jesus for help. I know that it is in His name that those of you who read this letter will want to re spond. I think I have said enough. There are no more words to de scribe our plight. May God have mercy on us. With love, EVA BAGGOU We have “ no more words” to describe this situation, either, but we know that you share our heart ache and deep pity for this suffer ing girl and her family. The medi cine for her and her sister will cost $50 to provide, and $10 will pur chase locally 80 lbs. of nourishing food. We invite you, our reader, to respond to this pathetic appeal and to hundreds of others like it. You may help through the American Mission to Greeks, Inc., Dept. K, P.O. Box 423, New York 36, N.Y., Rev. Spiros Zodhiates, General Secretary. (In Canada: 90 Duplex Ave., Toronto 7, Ont.) This Mission is also reaching the souls of the thousands of tuber cular people in Greece by provid ing Bibles and New Testaments for them in the Greek language. While we are concerned about the tragedy of the suffering body, we must not forget the plight of the sinful heart.
