Make Zero Leprosy Your Legacy by including a bequest for your work with The Leprosy Mission in your Will
A man with leprosy came and knelt before him and said, “Lord, if you are willing, make me clean.” Jesus reached out his hand and touched the man. “I am willing,” He said.
Matthew 8:2-3
Your mission is His mission! Like Jesus, you too have reached out, touched people who have leprosy and made them whole. Thank you. In your lifetime, you have been part of a huge fall in the number of people affected by leprosy. Yet many remain, still falling prey to this life-destroying disease. One case every two minutes! Hundreds of thousands a year, added to the millions who are affected.
After your Will has met the needs of your family and loved ones, your bequest has an extraordinary power to make lives whole. Even a small portion of your estate can be one of the greatest gifts of your lifetime.
With 12 months of medication, you will set 100 people free from leprosy.
Your molecular biology lab will use PCR testing to track leprosy’s spread with astonishing accuracy – from tiny genetic samples of the disease.
Your histopathology lab will study tissues and cell samples, to diagnose leprosy and manage patient care.
You will provide vital reconstructive foot surgeries for 100 people who suffer the miserable disability called ‘drop foot’, causing constant injuries and stumbling.
Thanks to you, 100 people will walk again!
As disease-damaged nerves cause injuries, burns, infection and loss of limbs, your gift will restore movement, dignity and the functions of life, for 100 people
To make your bequest to The Leprosy Mission, you don’t even need to change your existing Will. Simply write a Codicil and attach it to your Will as an amendment.
