🚑 Teacher Tiffany Stephens picked up almost $4k in supplies from SOS for her phlebotomy classes at McCreary Central High School—giving her the ability to enroll more students in life-saving training.

With only $5,000 to support a 4-year health pathway serving 300+ students, every item counts. Tiffany put it best: “I don’t know what we would do without SOS.” 💙

"Taking care of students who will be the ones taking care of us."

When a fire threatened to derail their dreams, SOS stepped in. We donated over $10,000 in healthcare equipment—from hospital beds to blood pressure cuffs—to help Moore High School’s Health Science Academy students keep learning despite the damage.

Investigators said the fire was intentionally set in the school’s health science building.

Thank you Rep. Morgan McGarvey for taking a first-hand look at our work to bring health and hope to those in need locally and around the world!

SOS International is a local nonprofit that sends Louisville’s compassion to areas in need across the globe — the kind of effort I'm extra grateful to see right now.

This week, Team McGarvey dropped off some supplies with their incredible team!

179 pounds. One mission. Countless lives touched. 💙

This summer, Dr. Jim Snyder with EFCA ReachGlobal delivered supplies from SOS to Tandala Hospital in the DRC — from anesthesia and PPE to surgical tools and oxygen.

These resources are already helping doctors and nurses provide life-saving care for patients who might otherwise go without.🌎
