Improving Lives Through Comprehensive Diabetic Care
In rural regions of Honduras, diabetes is a widespread yet underserved health crisis. Many patients in remote communities face severe barriers to care, where access to diagnostic testing and medication is limited or non-existent. Left unmanaged, diabetes leads to debilitating and preventable complications—including heart disease, kidney failure, vision loss, and limb amputations. At CHHF, we are committed to changing this narrative by taking a major step forward to expand and elevate our chronic care services.
To address this urgent need, we are proud to launch a new, robust diabetic care initiative led by four of our dedicated team leader doctors. This project takes a two-pronged approach to creating sustainable change: two doctors are heading the development of an updated, modernized A1C testing protocol to deliver accurate, long-term glucose monitoring in our clinics, while the other two are leading a specialized pilot study providing reliable insulin access and routine blood glucose monitoring directly to 25 high-risk patients. This initiative expands life-saving diabetes management across the communities we serve.
Managing diabetes requires ongoing resources: from diagnostic supplies and test strips to temperature-regulated insulin, making it one of the most expensive conditions to treat in resource-limited settings. Your generosity can directly fund testing supplies and life-saving medication for a patient in desperate need.

Josselyn’s Voice
A Story of Hope
At nearly six years old, Josselyn had never spoken a single word.
Born with a condition known as tongue-tie, her silence wasn’t a choice. It was a barrier that could have been removed with a simple procedure.
But in rural Honduras, where access to healthcare is limited and surgeries like hers are not considered essential, Josselyn’s voice was quite literally out of reach.
That changed the day she found CHHF.
When our medical mission team arrived in her village, they saw more than a diagnosis. They saw a little girl desperate to speak. In just minutes, Josselyn received the surgery she had waited her entire life for. And for the first time, the world had the chance to hear her voice.
But her story isn’t over.
To truly find her words, Josselyn now needs weekly speech therapy and follow-up care. Her mother, Cindy, makes a difficult four-hour journey—two buses and a taxi—just to reach her appointments. The cost? Only $31.29 per week. Life-changing, yet out of reach for families like hers.
Now imagine a child you love never being able to say “Mama,” or ask for help. That’s the daily reality for far too many families in Honduras—unless someone like you steps in.
Be part of Josselyn's Story
Your support gives more than medicine. It gives dignity, possibility, and a future full of connection and confidence.
Because of people like you who care, Josselyn is now in kindergarten—learning, laughing, and making friends. “It’s like she’s an even happier child,” her mother says. “She’s not frustrated anymore—she’s laughing, playing, and learning.”
But countless other children are still waiting.
You can be the reason another child finds health and hope for a bright future.
You can join a medical mission team, attend a fundraiser, give a one-time or monthly donation, or volunteer your skills from home.
There are so many ways to serve—and it all starts with one simple step.

You are Needed
"I was so desperate at the hospital seeing my son Nelson almost dying
and without hope. We did not have money to buy the medicine that he
needed and every second counted. But I trusted God and knew He would
provide. Then CHHF started helping us and we know they were sent by God.”
