Hope for Lorraine (update)


Haven and Lorraine sleeping after a long day of physical therapy
 

Yesterday was a milestone for Lorraine as she stood for the first time on her own in 11 months.  Only 3 short months ago( but what seems like a lifetime ) God led me to find this lifeless 9 year old little girl laying in bed of a government hospital in  Kenya . She was hit by a bus and had been laying there for 9 months. She was in a state of severe malnourishment, her bandages covered in maggits, and enduring unimaginable , indescribable suffering. She had totally given up on living.
I could not just walk away knowing she would probably die there.
 After getting her to a private hospital even the best doctors would say"We will see what we can do."It is only because of prayers and donations that  Lorraine is able to stand today. Im beaming with joy today as I look back at where we have come from.
 If you would like to be a part of helping Lorraine continue on the road to recovery or help with expences our family has encurred while stepping out in faith trusting God will provide ...please see our donation buttton under hospital ministry. Donations will not only go to continue to provide for her medical care ,physical therapy, christian school but also for housing away from the unsanitary ,sewage filled slums she was living in so that her wounds can continue to heal properly.
