A boy in need
A few days after receiving the money envelope I spoke with my sister who lives in Puebla, Mexico by phone. She told me how on her way to the store one day recently she’d met a boy and his mother on the street. She asked what was wrong with the boy since he was obviously loosing all his hair and looked sickly. His mother was grieved and said she did not know, the boy had started to loose his hair and had been having such high fevers that would lead to convulsions. Being a single mother of 4 she did not have money or transportation to take him to a doctor even for an initial consultation. My sister turned to the my other sisters living in Puebla and they offered to pay for the consultation and offered transportation to the correct doctor/specialist about an hour or more away. So my husband and I offered to send the money the church gave us for this boy’s needs. So far we have heard my sisters are taking him fruits and meats, which he likes to eat and he has already had a consultation with the specialist and he will begin studies on the boy to find out what is wrong with him…praise God we were able to help this boy all the way in my home-town, we feel so thankful to Bay Community!
