They are such a beautiful family. I just love visiting and spending time with all of our moms in their homes.
Justin Ray was our New Years baby born Jan 1 to Janet. Can you believe all that hair?
This is Justin with his family. His mom wasn't home during this picture but all of them are doing extremely well.
Our feeing program has moved to two days a week and soon to be three. Along with the feeding program we are incorporating classes/lessons for the kids who's parents can't afford to send them to school. They need to complete lessons and homework as a requirement to be a part of the feeding program. It's our way of keeping them accountable while giving them tools for life.
One of the women we've gotten really close to in Tanza is extremely sick. She is in the advanced stages of TB. TB is extremely common and contagious in the Philippines with a 70% infection rate. Jalynn is in her mid-thirties and weighing roughly 65 lbs.
She's struggling to take care of herself while trying to raise her son Edgard and pay for him to go to school.
We've been providing her with food and medicine. The meds cose roughly $80/month and schooling is about $50/year not including transportation. We would greatly appreciate it if you were able to help us fund either of these. Jalynn is such a sweet sweet woman who has become so dear to my heart. It's hard to watch her get weaker with each passing week. Please pray for her health and funding for her and her son.
