Paeola

This is Paola. She is 2 years old. Her dad killed her mom with a machete today and then took a machete to her. The dad is now on the run to Haiti. In the past 12 hours this sweet baby girl has been beaten and sliced by a machete and is now orphaned with no one show her love. Please be praying for this sweet baby girl. I am devastated and mad all at the same time! How could a man do such a thing to such an innocent life! If I could go get Paola and bring her home with me right now I would! #missionaryatheart

Perfect Day

My first day back with all of my loves! My heart is so big and full tonight! Everyone was SO S-U-R-P-R-I-S-E-D when I came walking through the village this morning! I spent the day getting/giving tons of hugs, holding lots of hands, had 3 special needs boys over to swim and get baths in the pool (what an amazing experience for those precious boys that most people have said they are just stupid and they have been abandoned by most...), and MY ROSIE came by to see me once her family got word I was here (they were SO excited!!)! It was a perfect first day back! #missionaryatheart

Karina's Family

Meeting this family today makes the entire feeding project I am starting totally worth it! A single mom is raising 7 kids totally on her own with no help at all. She is unable to work because she has to stay home with the kids. She has no source of income and the family goes up to FOUR full days at a time with no food what so ever. Think about how much food so many people waste in 4 days...WOW. This mom was so thankful when we told her we would be helping her with food weekly. Please be in prayer for this family. They have a tiny house that is smaller than most garages, no food, no water, no bathroom, no shower, only a dirty bucket with nasty water to bathe in, and they still manage to be smiling big! #missionaryatheart
