Two days ago my heart broke…Again!!!💔

Our team found one of our former Anchor of Hope kids — little Stuart — so sick and frail. He had difficulty breathing, and there was a bulge in his stomach. We rushed him to a pediatric hospital in Jinja, praying the whole way.

The diagnosis: TB. A hernia.  Malnourishment.

We can’t treat him at our feeding center because of the TB, so the hospital will work to stabilize him. Then our field teams will monitor his care from home where we will provide training and special food. After six months of TB treatment, he’ll need surgery. Six months feels like forever when you’re watching a child suffer.

Remember Shelton? He passed away jn January during a measles epidemic. His mother took him to a hospital with substandard care because she couldn’t afford anything else.

This is why we started the Shelton Medical Fund — for moments exactly like this. It’s costly, but we’ll do whatever it takes to save these precious lives.

Please — pray for Stuart. Pray for healing, for strength, and for God’s comfort over his little body. And if you want to help with his treatment costs, you can give through the this link.
