This girl desperately needs a sponsor

Little Anzhela is 11 years old.
She is diagnosed with Hydrocephaly and mental delay.
We recently got new pictures of her and recognize that she *desperately* needs a sponsor.
She is very tiny.
Lying in bed, being attended to by overworked caregivers, and given the standard food rations is not nourishing her body enough for it to grow as God intended.
Please look into your heart and pray about being her sponsor.
For $40 a month she will be given a one-to-one caregiver who will take her out of her bed and hold her.
Who will spend extra time and care making sure she has the right food for her.
Who will take her out in a stroller on the veranda so the sunshine will light on her face.
For those of you who are like me, and cannot adopt, sponsorship is the most amazing thing you can do for a little one.  It is literally life changing.
Look at the difference between this little girl:

And this one:

This is the same little girl, before and after sponsorship.
Please let your heart be broken and do what you are lead to do.
For $40 I can put one tank of gas in my car.
I can buy a new outfit, or take a friend to the movies.
Or I can feed a child and provide them some of the love and care God intended.
If you would like to sponsor Anzhela, please email life2orphans at question@life2orphans.org
There are also many others who need sponsors just as desperately, click on the tab that says: sponsor these orphans.

Maxim is fully funded!

Actually, right now Maxim has $6511 in his account.
That is incredible!
Last time I checked he had barely over a thousand dollars.
People have been praying. People have been acting.  Mountains are moving for Maxim.
In fact, Maxim is now on Reece's Rainbow's moving mountains page. And he is near the top!
Please keep praying. Please keep sharing.
$6511 is amazing!  But in our human eyes it still seems a long way away from "fully funded."

I can say with confidence though, that in reality Maxim is fully funded.
God never created one of his children who wasn't.
God did not create a life void of anything it needed.  God didn't even create "want," let alone "lack."
When God created Maxim, as with all of his children, he created him "fully funded," with everything he needed to thrive in this life.
Would there be a family for Maxim if he were fully funded (on paper)? I can say with certainty there would be.

I can't wait for the day (which I believe is soon) that I can put that title on my blog post and know it is true in paper as it is true in the reality God created.

Please keep sharing Maxim, so we can bring to light God's true creation.

Maxim--the name that was heard all around the world

Last night I was praying for this little boy:

 And I had a vision of his name traveling all over the world through the wonder of the internet.
What if Maxim's name could appear on thousands of computers, all over the globe, through the voice of the internet?
What if my vision could be a reality?

Could you please join me in spreading Maxim's name all over the internet?
I am asking each of my readers, even if there is only one of you (!!) to put up a post about Maxim this week *and* to email one of their blogger or facebook friends and ask them to put up a post about Maxim.
That's all. 

Let's see if we can get Maxim's name to travel all over the internet.

Why Maxim?

Because this is an engaging, intelligent 14 year old boy who is spending the majority of time in a bed in a mental health institution. Look at the picture above and ask yourself if that is a little boy who belongs in a bed in an institution!  If Maxim "ages out" he will not end up on the streets like so many of the orphans --he will end up confined to a bed for the rest of his life, as he is here:

If this is not bad enough, Maxim's health situation is considered critical. His life is literally at risk before it has even truly begun.  Please read the following from the Reece's Rainbow website:

Maxim is absolutely cleared for international adoption, however his physical condition IS delicate and unstable.  His "tumor" is interwoven in other internal organs, this is the concern for the surgery and for transport.  Families considering adopting Maxim will need to work with us and officials to make special arrangements for transportation.  This will incur additional costs, so families should be prepared for this.

I have seen so many miracles in the adoption community, I feel Maxim is meant to be one of them.


Please join me in spreading Maxim's urgent need for adoption around the internet.
