A huge thanks to Lori and Kevin Smith who are sponsoring two of the worst cases we encountered. With their contribution, Mwila and Hatson will be receiving 3 meals a day, Healthcare, and top-notch Christian education!
To help you understand the importance of this to these children, here's a little bit about them:
Mwila lives with a young aunt who is still in school. As a result, they have to seek help from another aunt, who has a son who regulary abuses Mwila physically. As a result, Mwila is being tested for HIV/AIDS. If tests prove positive, Mwila will receive any necessary ARV treatments to allow her to live a full life thanks to sponsorship. Also, provision from Family Legacy will discontinue the need for them to visit the other aunt's house.
Hatson lost his father in 2000 and his mother in January of this year. He is currently living with a grandmother, because he has been disowned by other family members, and she has no source of income. If something happens to his grandma, he has nowhere to go. To Hatson, sponsorship means 3 meals a day, school fees paid for, regular healthcare, and the attention of Discipleship Leaders who will keep track of him no matter what happens.
Thank you Father for these children. Thank you for knowing them well and for stirring the affections of Lori and Kevin to serve them and you. Please continue to bless these children as they safely grow to know you better. Amen.
37 Then the righteous will answer him, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you drink? 38 And when did we see you a stranger and welcome you, or naked and clothe you? 39 And when did we see you sick or in prison and visit you?’ 40 And the King will answer them, ‘Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these my brothers, you did it to me.’
Matthew 25:37-40
