Monday Morning Good News Story:
30 years ago, a woman in West Africa had been in labor for FOUR DAYS, and needed a C-section or she’d die, but it cost around $100 and she couldn’t afford it. A 22-year-old nurse from New Zealand happened to be there volunteering, and convinced a British doctor to do the surgery. The doctor even paid for it, and it saved the woman’s and her child’s life. It’s in the news because that nurse just saw her again for the first time in three decades. They were both volunteering on a boat run by a Christian charity called Mercy Ships (it’s like a floating hospital for third-world countries).
