Best News Ever

Earthquake, Kids

The most wonderful email I’ve ever received  just came in:

From Andrew Madda…

LIA is fine ! her orphanage is destroyed and her 13 kids sleeping on the street.. but they are fine and all together.

Lia Teaching Orphanage Kids
August 2009

I can barely believe it.  The news is still sinking in, but I wanted to get this out to all of you asap.  Yay, I’ll be able to sleep tonight.  Then again, so many questions: how did the staff get out in time, with 13 kids, most of them toddlers, one unable to walk, another one unable to move?  Where are they sleeping now — out in the open?  How are the kids getting their AIDS and Tuberculosis medicine?  Were they able to salvage that from the wreckage?

The answers will emerge… at the latest when Luke arrives on Monday.

Thank you all again for your amazing support in these difficult times!

Stay tuned and rejoice!

    We are SO happy here in the U.S. to here that Lia and the kids made it out. We know Lia from her time working and living in New York. We were very worried, and many of us have been praying and sending positive energy and thoughts down that way. I am sorry to hear about the loss of the orphanage building. We will stay tuned for updates…

HELP CHILDREN IN HAITI

Meet Martin

MartinMeet Little Martin. On a routine visit to a hospital we noticed a little disabled boy in one of the hospital cribs. The boy had been left to fend for himself, he had no identification and his birthday is a mystery. He had been in the hospital for a few days and had been severely neglected: his diapers were soiled and he was covered in lice. No one had taken any notice of this little boy in a few days and we were left with no choice but to bring the little boy home. In honor of one the Kay Angel founders we named the boy “Little” Martin.
