May 17th a simple email thank you for a few bibs bought as donations to orphans living in a home across the world. A few small pictures of children, one picture of a beautiful boy wearing a bib that we had purchased.
Those bibs, that email that picture of the boy in the bib changed everything. Not knowing exactly why, I HAD to know more about him. Mustering up whatever courage I could find and saying a quick prayer I wrote an email back.
"Precious, just precious. Thank you for caring for these sweet children. These pictures are wonderful. So humbled by the work that you do. Thank you for giving these little ones a home while they wait for their forever families. I shopped with my two younger children and they really enjoyed picking out and helping to buy the bibs for ______'s friends. I wish it could have been more.
If I may be so bold to ask, the beautiful boy by himself with the red bowl, is there a sponsor for or is he currently matched with a family? Is he in need of funding for further surgeries or anything? We would love to be able to pray for his needs, sponsor as we are able and to advocate for him both personally and through our church's adoption ministry to find a forever family. My 5 year old ____ has repaired cleft lip, cleft palate and other special needs. We adopted him _____ and _____did not think he would find a forever family...but God had our family picked out for him:)
We also would love to know ____ critical needs as well as prayer requests for you, the staff, and the children that you serve.
Truly humbled by your heart for orphans and the way that ____ provides for children that need care.
Looking forward to hearing from you and how we can help,"
