I´m sick and tired of leaving children behind! Leaving them at the hospital……at the orphanages……on the streets.

Yuri stayed overnight again at the hospital with Denia. Tonight was especially hard to leave. Not sure why. I know the girls at home need me there as much as Denia needs me at the hospital. She’s in good hands though. Yuri is gonna be a great mom!


Yuri holds a two month old baby boy at the hospital. He’s malnourished and needs heart surgery. He’s one of nine children being raised by a single mother. The mother will have to give him up unless she can find a way to pay for his milk. She had been feeding him oatmeal water and rice water.


A girl stands by her 10 year old malnourished autistic brother who needs 10 pints of blood for a transfusion, or he’ll die, but only has enough money for 6 pints.

Not pictured is a 16 year old mother with her one month old son who is slowly dying, drowning actually, because the doctors can’t get the fluid out of his lungs. The doctors want to transfer her to a better hospital in the city, but she doesn’t have the $35 needed for gas for the ambulance.

Everyone has a story…and it seems you have been chosen to help the ones God puts right in front of your face.

Thank you to everyone who saw EFP and helped!!
