Please Help Save Willy!

This is my first and main mission right now. Meet Willy!! He was Lilee's foster brother in Guatemala. He was 1 of 3 foster children our foster family was keeping. He was the only one that did not get adopted. He had alot of issues with his case and the courts dropped him and claimed him unadoptable. They ordered him to go immediately to an orphanage but our foster family asked if they could keep him. His lawyer has let him stay with them for the time being. But the foster family has not been paid since then and has not received any kind of help for milk, food, clothing. Nothing! They have tried to obtain Willy's BC and guardianship and can not because of the cost. They feel helpless and asked me for help! But only for support for Willy for milk, food, ect..... The do not want him going to an orphanage! They told me, "he is not an animal to just discard, he is our family and we love him!"

What they do not know is that I have been looking into the cost of them gaining gaurdianship of Willy and so far I found out that it will cost a $1,000. I am still looking into this though to make sure! That is not near anything that I expected the cost to be. This family loves Willy so much! They have had him since birth and will be 3 on May 6th. They are all he knows!!!!!
This is is foster mom Gloria and her daughter Crushita (21) who was Lilee's FM, along with my middle son Josiah and Lilee this was on Lilee's PU trip. Gloria has another daughter and they live with father!

I am sending down a box next week of clothes , shoes, and toys, for Willy's Birthday. Along with support for Willy. Thank you Judy and Amber for having a loving heart for Willy. With their support and mine, together we raised $150 for Willy. And a big thank you to Megan who will be hand delivering this to Willy in Antigua. Thank you all so much!!! This could have not happened with out all of your help!
Now I need to raise the money for the Guardianship of Willy so he does not have to be put in an orphange. He has a family who loves him and wants to keep him! The only family he has ever known. Willy is a good boy and he is very happy!! I have got to meet Willy several times and he is a cutie!!!!!!!!!!
I hope by August the $1,000 will be raise and some how God can provide me with a plane ticket to go to Antigua personally and help this family get the guardianship of Willy.Then there would be one less orphan in the world! I also will be going to a orphange (I love so dearly) to take things they need and give them a helping hand. Unless God provides a miracle and want me to go sooner then August. Then I will go!
If anyone is interested in taking a mission trip I am working on putting one together. Stay tuned for more info on that! Everything is a work in progress and I am working on getting all the details and the list of needs the orphange needs.
PLEASE PRAY FOR:
- The support for Willy's Guardianship.
-That the Lord will work everything out perfectly so that it all falls into place without any problems, so that Willy does not have to go to the Orphange.
-As plans are being made for my mission trip this summer and that I will have company that wants to go along.
- enough donations will be raised for the orphange and Roxana (a very needy Mayan child).
- that I can raise my support that I need for my upcoming trip.
- also pray as I am taking my first steps with my new Ministry!


I look forward to see Gods plan revealed!

My Goal....

My Goal is to make a couple of trips a year to personally deliver the things the children are in need of most. (The Orphanage, our Mayan School Girl, and Willy.) All these children are in great need of things.

Some needs that will be coming up soon are:
Blankets
Clothes -childrens
Shoes- childrens
Donations for: Water filters, tables and chairs, food, diapers, ect.

I will go into futher detail soon. I am in the process of finding out more on these things that are needed. So please stay tuned!

The Beginning....

I have felt the Lord leading me for a while to start a Ministry to help the Orphans that were left behind after the adoptions shut down in Guatemala, along with the very needy Mayan children too. After the adoptions of our 2 Guatemalan Princessa's I still felt it was not enough. We can not adopt again right now. But the children still need help. I feel this is where the Lord is leading me. I am stepping out to see how God can use me.

My first Priority will be the Children I know personally that need help. I am starting out small but I hope it will change many childrens lives.

My First Priorities:

WILLY (Lilee's foster brother)

Roxana (Our sponsored school girl)

Love the Child Orphanage

Stay tuned for more info to come and how you can help!
