Winda Update & Raising support

She is not doing well. The government is no longer paying for medical treatment so they are moving her to another hospital in 12 days starting not as good but at least she can get treatment for her kidneys there if we can raise the money for it. The doctors said her kidneys are failing so she needs to be on dialysis 2 times a week.

Treatment cost: 800,000 RP for each treatment. She needs it twice a week.

We need your help! Her treatment cost money and P3M doesn't have it. Let us know if you would like to donate or help us find contacts to other organizations or companies that might be interested in helping her.

So far we have:

1. Jo has put a campaign together for raising money,

I wouldn't do that if you paid me! Flying to raise money for P3M.

2. Also Rachel in Texas has a campaign raising money for P3M buy selling jewelry:

HIV Testing & TB Study

 Free HIV Testing

March 11th P3M teamed up with a government organization in Medan that's Commission is tackling AIDS (KPA) and the Veteran's clinic providing information on sexually transmitted diseases, condoms as a means of HIV prevention as well as a free examination of HIV and venereal diseases.15 woman and 5 man attended and got checked for both. 

Wulan who is one of the P3M founders, lives with HIV. She shared her testimony giving the the girls support and encouragement as well as teaching them ways they can try and prevent themselves from contracting HIV.



They brought in a doctor & nurse who specialize in testing and treating HIV & STDs. They set up one room for HIV testing and the other for STD testing. Before anyone was tested they went through a short counseling session. 

It was great to team up with them and are hope is that everyone is healthy and will help themselves to stay that way.

TB Study

March 12th P3M & friends went to visit a hotel/brothel in Medan. They made a study guide for each of the women with information about Tuberculosis (TB), what is TB, symptoms, how can it be treated, where they can go for this treatment in Medan, medicine and so forth. P3M is trying to help them to become more aware of how to protect themselves as well as educate them on the many things they are in danger of contracting. 15 women attended, they were very interested to learn, they were interacting and asking a lot of questions. Over all it went very well.

Her family and friends from the hotel still haven't visited her yet but P3M and P3M volunteers & friends have been coming to visit her through out the week bringing her gifts, food, stuff to do incase she is bored and most importantly letting her see that she is loved and not alone. Thank you so much to all of those that have come to visit and continue to come, it is such a blessing on P3M and her!


Also great news she qualified for government aid, so the government will pay for her bills for 2 more months! Everyone keep praying and contact us if you would like to come visit and let her know you love and care for her as well.

A woman in need

P3M went to visit some girls last night at a hotel. They found one girl who was extremely sick. She is only 31 years old and her body was swelled 3 times her size. She is a very tiny woman but last night her belly swelled to the point where she looked 6 months pregnant. She has been to a hospital before for the same reason but could not afford it so they sent her home. After a lot of encouragement from P3M & friends, she was rushed to the hospital. She is still at the hospital and the doctors are still doing tests to find out what the problem is.

We need your help, with any suggestions, donations, volunteers, prayers and love!

1. Raising money for hospital bill. It is likely she will be there for a couple months so any help you can give with raising funds would be very appreciated!

2. We need help with someone to stay with during the day. To get her food, medication, sponge baths. We are looking for volunteers but we can also pay someone if they need a job. Her family has refused to help her in anyway she has no one except P3M. If you would like to help her or know someone who would like to Please contact:

Teaching & Sharing

Today P3M went to the hotel to teach the girl about HIV & Aids: How you can contract it as well as how to protect yourself. Many of them don't know how to use a condom so P3M had them practice and asked them to commit 100% to using condoms. Wulan as shared her incredible testimony about how she is living with HIV and how she too used to be a prostitute.

New Banner!
