We are reaching out looking for anyone who wants to join us in supporting Asafe who is quite sick in the ICU at Hospital Central de Maputo.

Asafe's mother, Dr. Maria Augusta Taimo, was a member of my first year of EM residents when we started the program in 2016 and has served faithfully as the residency director since graduation from the program. Not only is Dr. Taimo a fierce doctor and educator, she is a fiercely dedicated mother -- she has maintained optimism and a profound commitment to providing and teaching empathic, high-quality care in the most dire of circumstances, and I know how much she (and her family) has sacrificed over the years to become and then train emergency medicine specialists in a country that previously had none.

The ICU specialists in Maputo are suggesting they try to get Asafe to another country for a higher level of care and renal biopsy. We are joining forces to help assist with his transfer to a specialty center in South Africa.

Will you join us in raising the $14,375 needed to help one of our fiercest champions in her family's time of need?
