Some of you have already heard the news that LoveServes' Development Director, Tom Hinton, was on a training trip in Cuba with a pastor from his church and ended up in a hospital in Havana due to an embolic stroke. While there are encouraging signs for full recovery, the level of medical testing, evaluation and care protocol at the hospital has resulted in reasonable concern for his health safety to travel home on commercial airline.

We have worked closely with Tom's wife, Nancy to coordinate a medical flight to a hospital in Sarasota this weekend.  

Because of insurance policy, transports beyond the closest airport (Miami) are not covered and become an out-of-pocket expense. Yet, it is in Tom's best health interest for him to fly directly to a hospital in Sarasota and begin receiving care under supervision of his established medical team.

Many of you are already praying for Tom and the Hinton family, and you have asked how you can help.

We have received commitments to help underwrite this flight for Tom, but we recognize there are MANY people who love the Hintons and would want to be part of this gesture of help at a time when so many of us are feeling helpless in this situation. If that is you, you can click on this link to make a donation towards the cost of this medical transport flight* for Tom. (*Any donations that exceeds the cost of this flight will be applied towards the hospital costs in Sarasota)

Please join us in praying for Tom, Nancy and their family as they prepare for Tom to travel back to Florida.
