The last couple weeks have been a little difficult at HOOL so we apologize for the late updates.
With deep sadness we want to thank our special friend Sheri for her help with getting medical care for little Bella. After being attacked by a stray dog that we were trying to help, we had learned that her spinal cord and spine were okay so we had much hope for her recovery. Laying her to rest after her passing last week had really taken it’s tole on everyone, we are so sad that this didn’t end differently for her.
Poor Domino has lost his sister and friend, but he is surrounded by so much love!!
Morgan comes from school and visits everyone for the day, what a blessing!!
We were able to make a request to Morgan’s school so he could come from school and spend some time at the orphanage. It was great to have him connect with his sponsor Mom and to see him and Jessy enjoy their new bikes together.
Esther and Sharita are so happy to be sponsored and to be back to school. Education is everything to the children here, it means more for their future than we can possibly say.
The bunnies are growing up quickly and enjoying their new pen!
Little Sheila and Mpala take a sweet photo for their Sponsor Mom, how special! We really love these kids as if they were our own and are very happy to see their sponsor families embrace them so lovingly.
Sheila and Jessy just hanging out.
GREAT NEWS that Cathy has found a sponsor, and even more special that it is just before her birthday that is coming up soon!! Cathy is such a bright and spirited girl, she is a total orphan and has been waiting for so long. We are greatly humbled that almost all of our children have found sponsors, this is a great dream of ours coming true right before our eyes.
Happy 1st Birthday to our nephew today! We were blessed with funds for a car rental so we could pick Morgan up from school and make a visit to spend some time with our sister Brenda and her family in Jinja today. There’s many ways that the last couple weeks have not gone our way. But we are reminded today of the goodness and kindness of humanity and that in the end LOVE conquers all. We thank you all for your continued support, we could not possibly help these children the way we are without all of you!! God Bless you always.
“For the bright future, we battle.”
