Last week we learned about the needs of a school on the islands of Belize and how we can help them so that they can thrive and continue to bring glory to God. This week we are returning to the states….right in my own “backyard” to be exact. This is an amazing program that some {even your own doctors} might not even know exists. This week’s installment of ‘Love Your Neighbor as Yourself Monday’ is dedicated to:
Frisco Cares Children's Clinic

You can get a lot of information about Frisco Cares on their website. They are a non-profit agency and their mission is to “Provide quality acute healthcare to uninsured children and adults residing in or attending school in Frisco, Celina, Prosper, and Little Elm”. They currently serve the noninsured {not underinsured}. The started off as a children’s clinic {18 years and younger} but they have recently added a clinic day for adults. The clinic is open Wednesday evenings for children and Thursday evenings for adults. The fee is $5 per patients and ALL prescriptions are free to the patient.
How we can serve our neighbors at Frisco Cares:
*Keep Frisco Cares, Patients, Staff & Volunteers In Your Prayers
*Serve on the Frisco Cares Board
*Donate Medical Supplies
*Donate Medical Equipment
*Donate Office Supplies
*Hold A Supply Drive Through Your Work, Church Or Neighborhood
*Donate Prizes For The Children Stickers, lollipops, etc., all the same things that most pediatricians offices offer their young patients
*Hold A Flu Vaccination Drive raise funds to assist the clinic in purchasing flu vaccines & supplies needed to administer the shots
*Support The Patients That Wait In Line The amount of “waiting room” space is extremely limited which causes the majority of patients to line up outside the clinic for most of their wait. The clinic has the same rush during the peak times of illness {flu, RSV, etc} just as any other doctor’s office . This means that there are children and adults who are standing outside in the rain, the snow, the chilling winter evenings and out in the scorching summer sun.

You, my brothers, were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge the sinful nature; rather, serve one another in love. The entire law is summed up in a single command: "Love your neighbor as yourself.” ~Galatians 5:13-14 NIV
