I have big dreams of being a doctor. I need to go to school. I have not been this year. I know so many people who are sick and need a doctor, but they cannot pay. I want to help them. Our neighbor who helps us with our laundry has elephantiasis for the 15 years. It costs more to go to a doctor than for her to feed her family for a month. That makes me sad for her. I took the exam because I am so hopeful to find a sponsor. I am still in the top half of my class, but my position is declining. I will work so hard if I can return to school! I would hope for you to help me, so I can help others.

In Christ's Name,

Joshua
