 Dear Donors and Supporters

Subject: Urgent Appeal for Support - Medical Equipment and Supplies for Aider Hospital

On behalf of the Tigray Development Association Vancouver (TDA VAN), a charity organization established on January 1, we extend our heartfelt greetings. Our mission is dedicated to improving the lives of the people in Tigray, Ethiopia through various development and aid projects, focusing significantly on addressing the urgent healthcare needs in the region.

 Today, we reach out to you with a pressing request for assistance that will profoundly impact many lives. The Ayder Hospital in Mekelle, serving as a critical healthcare facility in Tigray, Ethiopia, is in dire need of medical equipment, medical supplies, and other essentials to continue providing life-saving care to the community. The details of our urgent call for aid are outlined on our official website: www.tdavan.org.

The challenges faced by Ayder Hospital are immense, with a severe shortage of basic medical supplies and equipment that are critical for both routine healthcare and emergency response. This shortage has been exacerbated by the ongoing difficulties in the region, leading to an increased number of patients with less access to necessary medical care. The situation is desperate, and the consequences of inaction could be catastrophic.

Therefore, we are reaching out to our generous donors and supporters, to request your support in this critical time. We are seeking donations that would enable us to purchase the following essential items:

Medical equipment: Including but not limited to, ultrasound machines, ECG machines, X-ray machines, and ventilators.

1. Medical supplies: Such as medications, surgical tools, bandages, antiseptics, and other disposables.
2. Any other support or resources that could aid in the improvement of healthcare services at Aider Hospital.

Your assistance could dramatically improve the quality of healthcare services offered at Ayder Hospital, ensuring that thousands of individuals have access to the essential medical care they urgently need.

We are more than willing to provide any additional information or documentation needed to facilitate this process, including detailed proposals, budget estimations, and reports on the situation on the ground.

We sincerely hope that our donors and supporters will consider our request and extend their generous support to our cause. Together, we can make a tangible difference in the lives of those who are in desperate need of our help.

Thank you for considering our urgent plea. We look forward to your positive responses.

Yours sincerely,

Tigray Development Association Vancouver
