A HUGE THANK YOU!

I just wanted to let everyone know with your support, we raised enough Pledges for Willy!!! I am waiting for a few more pledges to come and then I will have all the money needed for Willy. I was trying to wait until I had all the money in hand before I gave an update. The lawyer has received his money I sent. I am just waiting on word he has actually started the Guardianship for Willy. This is a picture of Willy and his foster mom Gloria and her daughter Crushita (which was Lilee's FM) They all live in the same house along with the foster dad and their other daughter.

PLEASE Keep praying the rest of the money needed comes in! And start praying this process for Guardianship goes smoothly and quickly! We all know how Guatemalan adoptions can turn!!!

Thank you all for your love, support, and help this far!!!!!!!!!

Romans 8:28 "And we know that all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose."

I just wanted to keep everyone updated. So far we have a total of $600 pledged to help Willy.

I have only received $100 of it so far. Keep praying people we are almost there. Only $460 away

from Willy's Guardianship!! Thank you to all who have prayed, given, and helped me spred the word to help Willy! When 2 or more agree and come in the name of the Lord and pray in one accord it will be given unto you.

To All My Blog Readers, Family and Friends !!!!!!!!

You all are awesome!!!!!!! I have been moved by all your love and support you have given to me and especially Willy He is such a special little boy!! That is why I am so determined to help him get guardianship so he will never have to leave is foster parents! It would kill me to see him end up in an orphanage!!

SO far I have had $395 pledged to help Willy. Only $605 more to go. Plus I will be paying the $30 for each time that I wire the money to the lawyer. We are almost there to send the first payment Monday.

Here is the little fellow you all are helping!These are pictures that Megan took of Willy for me when she delivered my package to him for his birthday. Looks like he was need of some bigger clothes!

YOUR PRAYERS ARE NEEDED!!!!!!!!!

The lawyer just sent word that he will begin work on Willy's Gaurdianship this Thrusday but......
He needs his $500 by Monday!!!!!!!!!!! Yikes!!!!!!!!! Please start praying for a miracle people!!!
It will cost me an extra $30 every time I wire the money to him.

I am praising God but freaking out too that I will not have enough mone by then!!!!

" Dear God, please hear my cries for help for Willy. I am praising your name for the lawyer you have sent to help. But please provide the money that is needed by Monday." Amen

James 1:27

UPDATE!!!

I asked the Lawyer if he will take $500 down to start the guardianship for Willy and then the other $500 once he had gotten the guardianship. I told him he knew how we worked since we hired him for Lilee's case and he knew he would be paid! I also told him that it would be easier for me to raise the $500 now to start then it would be $1000.Especially since this is not our child. I just love the orphans and want to make sure Willy does not end up in an orphanage and that if I knew I could help 1 more child to have a permanent home then I would do what I could to make that happen! He is ready to start once he has the money!!!

PLEASE KEEP PRAYING that GOD will Send the Money in quickly. I have already had a few
small donations offered! Thank You!!!!!!!! And Thank YOU Jesus!!!!!

WE HAVE A LAWYER!!!!!!!!

Our 2nd Lawyer who handled Lilee's case and got her home to us, agreed to get Guardianship for Willy's foster family so that he can permanently and legally stay with them until he is 18. I am so thrilled this is such a relief to know that there can be one less orphan in Guatemala. Especially since the adoptions are haulted for the ones still in process and closed to new adoption. He says he can do it with 15 days. But needs his money upfront, $1,000.

So people PLEASE start praying that I can raise this amount of money soon, for Willy's guardianship!!!!!!!!!! The foster parents are terrified because they do not have any legal papers
letting them keep Willy,everyone told them to take him to the orphange and they can not. He is their son already!They have had him since birth and he turned 3 on May 6th. That is why they asked me for help. My church anyone that would help. The lawyer was just letting him stay with them because they asked to take care of him and the orphanges are all over crowded. If the police question them they do not have any paper work for Willy and then they would be arrested and then he would have to go to the orphange!

I am suppose to be getting new pictures of Willy soon and will post them as soon as I do. He is being hand delivered a package tomorrow by Magen who generously offered to take it to Antigua for me. Myself, Judy, and Amber sent him $150 for support . I also sent him Clothes, and toys for his birthday. I am sooooooo excited to see pictures!! Thank You again Magen!!!!!

(To see Willy scroll down a few post to see a few pictures I posted of him. )

If you want to help with Willy's gaurdianship please let me know!!!!!! you can leave a post here or e-mail me at karlton5@juno.com. I pray the Lord will provide all that is needed so that I can send it to the lawyer ASAP!!!!!

WE NEED YOUR PRAYERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Another way to raise funds to support my upcoming mission trip!

Check out my new blog "My Kidz Clothes" at http://clothesformissions.blogspot.com/
I am asking donations for my kids clothes to raise money for my upcoming trip mission trip to Guatemala.

Please tell you family and friends about this. I will be adding new things to the blog as things start to go. All donations raised will go toward my upcoming mission trip.

Working on finding the right lawyer.....

I am in contact with a few lawyers through a couple of Americans in Antigua. We are trying to get all the paperwork needed to get Willy's guardianship. PLEASE pray that the right lawyer will be able to get everything needed for Willy, so that I can help the foster family get guardianship of him so that he does not have to end up in an orphange.

Willy's first support is on its way!

I sent the box out for Willy yesterday.A sweet girl named Magen volunteered to take it to Antigua, Guatemala to hand deliver it to Willy. She won't be able to give it to him until the 11th. Willy's B/D is the 6th. But I am just thankful that he will be getting it near his B/D. She said she would take pictures of him getting his box. I am soooo excited!!!

Willy will also have support for 3 months. Between 2 very giving friends Judy, Amber , and I were able to sent him $50 a month for 3 months. I was able to send him some of our youngest sons clothes he grew out of. ( 2 pr. PJ's, slippers, 6 outfits, and 2 pr. shoes) My kids and I also sent him a few B/D presents.

Thanks again for your help Judy, Amber, and Magen!!! I couldn't have done it with out you!
