Testing, Training & Living

This Month P3M went to the brothels and places of prostitution giving them free clinical examinations, testing for HIV and other STDs. P3M was unable to go to as many places as they usually can due to it being Ramadan this month, so a few places were closed.  P3M has also recently stumbled apon 6 new places of prostitution possing as spa's and bath houses. Only 2 places would let them in but P3M not wanting to leave anyone behind is still trying to get permission from the owners so they may visit the other 4 places. 

Also this month at the P3M office they held training and activities for girls from USU University in Medan. They were trained in how the P3M organization works and information on HIV & Stds. It was lots of fun and a big success.


P3M House Update:

The woman and her child have been living in the P3M house for almost 2 months. Their family came to visit and where so happy to see they are safe and not living in horrible conditions but are comfortable and safe. Wilda takes them to church on Sundays and has bible study at the house every week. Also Tuesdays we will have English classes for them and for a few other children from the parents who are still in prostitution.

We hope and pray more woman will come out.

What is new with Meri?

She is doing so great! She is getting healthier and is very happy living with Wilda and P3M.

Moving in day!

A woman contacted Medan Plus and P3M today. Her community/family have excommunicated her from her village because they found out she is living with HIV. She has one daughter who is 6 years old and no husband, he died of HIV as did her other daughter. Seeing that she has no home, no job anymore and is at high risk to go into prostitution P3M took her in. She moved in today! Very exciting! 

Please say prayers for the woman and her daughter that just moved in, that they will be blessed and in good health!

We hope this will spark others in wanting to come live with P3M and change their lives. Also that they might see there is a safe house for woman and people who care for them.

How can you help?
If you have any thing that could go in house like furniture, kitchen supplies, decor , toys & books for kids, clothes ect. Anything you want to give we will happily take :)

FEAR of Flying Conquered for P3M!

Today our good friend Jo who started a campaign for P3M to raise money conquered her fear of flying. She also raised over $1,000 for P3M from support from family and friends and in turn she said she would endure here biggest fear... flying in a small aircraft! The brave girl did it today! We are so proud of her!! Thank you Jo for you courage and your love for those stuck in prostitution!

SELLING CLOTHES

P3M is also raising money by selling clothes! Please contact this page or the website if you would like to donate some clothes or whatever you can think of that you don't need or want anymore. It would go to a great cause.

Getting closer to the dream

3 woman have decided to leave their life as a prostitute and come live with P3M. Right now they are living in the small P3M office. We hope after all this support from so many wonderful people have been giving we will be able to get the house very soon. Already finding some in the neighbor and price that is needed. 

Woman #1 lets call her M - She is 62 years old and has been a prostitute since she was a teenager. She has breast cancer and just can't take the life anymore. Now she wants to change her life. She is selling petrol oil during the day and comes back to P3M office in the evening. We hope we can get her treatment for her cancer soon as well.

Woman #2 lets call her K - She is 16 years old and is pregnant. She was sold into prostitution by a friend and has stayed in it because of promises from a boyfriend. K is now tired and this life and wants to change her life and be a good mother for her baby. Way to go K!!

Woman # 3 Winda from the hospital - She is still in the hospital getting dialysis every 2 days. She is getting better. The swelling is going down and we hope she will be able to leave the hospital sometime in the future and come live with P3M

Great things are happening! Come be a apart of it! Thank you so much to those for all the support, donations and prayers. Every bit counts!!

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:
