I am serving here this week with Our Guatemala. Our focus is delivering bunk beds to those in desperate need of a comfortable spot to lay there head down. We are also serving at El Amor de Patrica, an orphanage here. My day today begin with loving on orphans at that home. Of course my heart was again broken for the children who endure such injustice. There is so much I could share about that but I'll give 1 example that rips my heart, Baby girl that started out with semi happy personality at 1 year old when she began eating solids starting becoming really sick. Personality changed so she was taking to the hospital where she was immediately put in a colonstamy bag. Visitors of the orphanage fell in love with her and in her behalf began petitioning for her a medical visa so she could come to the states and have the surgery she needs but was denied because they stated it was a risk she wouldn't return to Guatemala. Really,,, this baby is a orphan and because international adoptions Are closed and because she most likely will not be adopted in Guatemala because of her special need. She will most likely have to live with this medical issue that in the states would be so easy to correct. She was denied that right And will very possibly spend her whole life in a orphanage, sickly, with NO family! My heart hurts,
"What we desire our children to become, we must endeavor to be before them."
