It's great when you donate once to Jacob's Kidney Campaign, but one donor has donated twice! The mission we're on - to raise money so Jacob Perera can receive a kidney transplant - was so compelling to one young man that he donated twice to the campaign. I don't know exactly what moved him the most, if it was Jacob's tireless pursuit to serve the people around him, if it was Jacob's love for the poor and parentless, or if it was blind compassion. I know he has not been to Sri Lanka or met Jacob before. But I do know he was moved enough to give some of his finances so Jacob can heal, and then give again.
Because of the sacrifice of people like him, we have raised $2,750 so far. We have more to go, but we're on our way.
Thank you for giving!

$2400 raised in two weeks
Thank you to the individuals, families and businesses that have responded to the Kidney Campaign so far. In the first two weeks, we collected $2400. We are very encouraged by the giving. Please continue to pray for Jacob. He is currently on dialysis, which he receives in the capital city of Sri Lanka, which is Colombo. His home, family and churches are about two hours away, which means he travels to Colombo to receive the treatment. When the transportation isn't available (the van broke down), he stays in Colombo during the week. The sooner he can receive the operation, the sooner he can be off dialysis. Thank you for your support!
