Late last week, SOAR received an emergency request from SOC-Bethlehem for medical equipment. Until now, SOAR has never received an unsolicited request from SOC.

The total cost, including shipping to Yerevan, is $6,500.00. If you would like to contribute to our collection for Sisters of Charity, please call 610.213.3452.
