Over the course of mere months, the virus killed her two children. Her husband. Her father and father-in-law. Koroma herself beat Ebola but was left with no means to support herself.
Koroma now works for PIH, caring for children near a hospital in Freetown, and is one of thousands who work every day in West Africa—fellow Ebola survivors, community health workers, and U.S.-based clinicians—to provide care and ease suffering.
Will you join me in telling them "thanks"? In West Africa, every last person is vital to curbing Ebola:
Community health workers go into villages across the nations, finding those most at risk for Ebola and bringing them to health care that could save their lives.
Physicians and nurses go every day to treatment units, where they administer aggressive care, including fluid and electrolyte replacement that can set patients on the path to health.
Mental health professionals go throughout the countries, helping people cope with catastrophic loss.
Write a message of support today:

Together, we go to West Africa, to Haiti, to Rwanda, and to other countries around the world. We make house calls. We build health systems. We stay.
Thank you, as always, for your support in the work we do together.
