NEXT IN LINE FOR SURGERY [Monday, May 10, 2010] Meet Nivar. She lives in Iraq and needs urgent heart surgery outside the country. Nivar has a four-fold set of heart defects known as Tetralogy of Fallot. At eight years old her growth has been stunted by lack of oxygen in her blood and subsequent lack of energy, activity, etc. But it’s not too late for Nivar. A total corrective surgery can still free her up for on-time development as she moves into her ninth birthday in September. Despite being a typist in a local office, where he makes about $250 per month, her father has gathered money from savings, friends, and family, and has $3,500 to help send Nivar to surgery! This is the kind of family ownership and buy-in that so encourages us!

Cody’s Going Away Podcast

July 19, 2008 by Jeremy 

Unfortunately, we just lost Cody back to America. Cody is now the U.S. Director for PLC and this is our last podcast together before he boarded the plane. In this podcast we talk about some of the partnerships with bands we’ve got going right now, the Preemptive Love Art Exhibition here in Iraq, and some other nuggets.  

Enjoy! Push play below…

Jeremy Courtney lives and loves in Iraq as a co-founder and Executive Director of the Preemptive Love Coalition. He's also the father of two spectacular children, and married to the lovely Jessica Courtney. When not absorbed in PLC work he can be found writing songs and singing about hope and future.
